It seems that the G signifies pigment-coated and the Z bleached. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paperboard#Grades

The choice of lettering seems to be arbitrary, as A, G, Z, U, N, T and D are not the initials of words in either German or English, i.e. not gestrichen, not gebleicht and not even Zellstoff!

GZ-grade cardboard

This company calls it 'coated cellucarton', but I'm not entirely sure how common this actually is.

neutral  philgoddard: I've looked at your references, but I'm none the wiser. What does GZ stand for? //Ah, could be. But why "sulfate/Kraft process?"
1 hr
  -> Gebleichter Zellstoff? // Phil. as usual, you are asking for fully researched solutions. Perhaps Fabio can take it from here? // I've added a link.

agree  Bernhard Sulzer: Gestrichener -- the different coatings that apply are on the website Fabio posted.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Bernhard. It seems that the G stands for neither of the two!

agree  Björn Vrooman: Cf p. 187 of Anne Emblem's book "Packaging Technology: Fundamentals, Materials and Processes," where you can see both coated (GZ) and uncoated (UZ) SBBs listed. Per your added note, the G (the German letters aren't random, though) shouldn't be omitted.
