  1. paperboard

    Paperboard is a thick and heavy-duty paper-based material made by transforming fibrous materials derived mainly from wood into a thick, flat sheet. It is used in packaging products and creating items like cartons, postcards, and covers for hardback books due to its durability, rigidity, and light weight. It is often coated or laminated for additional strength and protection.

Wikidata

  1. Paperboard

    Paperboard is a thick paper based material. While there is no rigid differentiation between paper and paperboard, paperboard is generally thicker than paper. According to ISO standards, paperboard is a paper with a basis weight above 224 g/m², but there are exceptions. Paperboard can be single or multi-ply. Paperboard can be easily cut and formed, is lightweight, and because it is strong, is used in packaging. Another end-use would be graphic printing, such as book and magazine covers or postcards. Sometimes it is referred to as cardboard, which is a generic, lay term used to refer to any heavy paper pulp based board. Paperboard is also used in fine arts for creating sculptures.
