(a) an upper stratified ply comprising two strata, an outer stratum, and an inner stratum, with (i) the outer stratum comprising a blend of at least about 30% to about 70% of kraft fibers and at least about 30% to about 70% eucalyptus kraft, the outer stratum having a basis weight of at least about 8 to 20 g/m 2; and (ii) the inner stratum comprising at least about 50% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight, and a basis weight of at least about 3 g/m 2; (i) the outer stratum comprising a blend of at least about 30% to about 70% of kraft fibers and at least about 30% to about 70% eucalyptus kraft, the outer stratum having a basis weight of at least about 8 to 20 g/m 2; and (ii) the inner stratum comprising at least about 50% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight, and a basis weight of at least about 3 g/m 2; (b) an interior ply having a basis weight of at least about 9 to about 25 g/m 2, the interior ply comprising: (i) at least about 30% to about 70% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight; and (ii) from at least about 30% to about 70% of bleached softwood kraft fibers; and (i) at least about 30% to about 70% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight; and (ii) from at least about 30% to about 70% of bleached softwood kraft fibers; and (c) a lower stratified ply comprising two strata, a first stratum, and a second stratum, (i) the first stratum comprising from at least about 30% to about 70% of kraft fibers and from about 30% to about 70% eucalyptus kraft, the first stratum having a basis weight of about 8 g/m 2 to about 20 g/m 2; and (ii) the second stratum comprising at least about 50% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight, and a basis weight of at least about 3 g/m 2. (i) the first stratum comprising from at least about 30% to about 70% of kraft fibers and from about 30% to about 70% eucalyptus kraft, the first stratum having a basis weight of about 8 g/m 2 to about 20 g/m 2; and (ii) the second stratum comprising at least about 50% of eucalyptus fibers having a lignin content of at least about 20% by weight, and a basis weight of at least about 3 g/m 2.
