Paperboard is a paper-like material, usually over ten mils (0. Paper is thin material mainly used for writing upon printing upon or packaging 010 inch, or 0. 25 mm) in thickness. Some types of paperboard (corrugating medium and linerboard) are used in the construction of Corrugated fiberboard. Containerboard is a form of Paperboard specially manufactured for the production of Corrugated fiberboard. Containerboard is a form of Paperboard specially manufactured for the production of Corrugated fiberboard. Corrugated fiberboard is a paper-based construction material consisting of a fluted corrugated sheet and one or two flat linerboards Other types of paperboard are used for folding cartons, set-up boxes, carded packaging, etc. Carton is the name of certain types of containers typically made from Paperboard which is also sometimes known as "cardboard" Packaging is the science art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution storage sale and use
(Cardboard is a generic, non-specific, lay term used to refer to any heavy paper-pulp based board, such as card stock. Cardboard is a generic non-specific term for a heavy duty Paper based product Card stock (also called cover stock or pasteboard) is a paper stock that is thicker and more durable than normal writing or printing paper but thinner and more flexible )
Thickness, bulk and caliper are significant aspects to paperboard manufacture, as the end product must be able to withstand the bending forces of packaging, load carrying, shipping etc. , while still maintaining their shape. Consequently, these paperboard products are sometimes composed of two or more plies to provide the required stiffness.
Within the industry, paperboard is referred to by weight (grams per square meter, pounds per 1000 square feet) or by thickness (mm or thousandths of an inch, or 'points' - i. The pound or pound-mass (abbreviation lb, lbm, or sometimes in the United States #) is a unit of Mass The square foot is an Imperial unit / US customary unit (non- SI non- metric) of Area, used mainly in the United States Inches redirects here To see the Les Savy Fav album see Inches. e. 0. 009" thick paperboard is also known as 9-point) or by name: foodboard, chipboard, solid bleached sulphate, clay coated, corrugating medium, boxboard etc.
Will Keith Kellogg first used paperboard folding cartons to hold flaked corn cereal, and later when he began marketing it to the general public, a heat-sealed waxed bag of Waxtite was wrapped around the outside of the box and printed with their brand name. Will Keith Kellogg, usually referred to as W K Kellogg ( April 7, 1860 &ndash October 6, 1951) was a U Waxtite, also WaxTite is the trade name of the heat-sealed Waxed Paper packaging system that was used by Will Keith Kellogg in 1914 around the This marked the origin of the cereal box, though in modern times the sealed bag is plastic and is kept inside the box rather than outside.
Today paperboard packaging in general, and especially products from certified sustainable sources, are receiving new attention, as manufacturers dealing with environmental, health, and regulatory issues look to renewable resources to meet increasing demand. It is now mandatory in many countries for paper-based packaging to be manufactured wholly or partially composed of recycled material. Recycling involves processing used materials into new products in order to prevent the waste of potentially useful materials reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials reduce
