What is Paperboard?

Paperboard is a type of paper product that is especially thick and is used in production of a variety of packaging products. Paperboard is usually at least one hundredth of an inch thick (0.01”), making it considerably more sturdy than newspaper or computer paper. This type of paper is thinner than the cardboard used for cardboard boxes.

Paperboard is ubiquitous in today’s society and is used to package many popular items, most notably food products. For example, paperboard is used to make most cereal boxes. Because it can be easily cut and formed, is lightweight, and is strong, paperboard is popular in many industries as a packaging option. Patmar uses paperboard in a variety of our products, including folding cartons, Masterboards, and more.
