Cardstock & Craft Paper

Cardboard and application paper are flat sheet materials used for packaging, prototyping, crafts, and product presentation. They include a range of paperboard grades and specialty application sheets designed for structural support, printing, cutting, folding and surface finishing. These materials are selected when a stable, printable, or easily worked substrate is needed for boxes, models, point-of-sale displays, folders and craft projects. Cardboard and application paper vary by thickness, fibre composition, surface coating and stiffness, which determines suitability for mechanical processing and final appearance. Users choose specific types based on required durability, print quality, bending properties and environmental considerations such as recyclability. Technical specifications, weight (gsm or microns), and recommended uses are essential when comparing options for a given project.

Types of Cardboard, Application paper

The category contains multiple formats and constructions to suit different tasks.

• Folding boxboard (FBB): multilayer paperboard for packaging and folding cartons, balanced stiffness and printability.
• Corrugated board: fluted inner layer combined with liners for shipping boxes and protective packaging.
• Solid bleached and unbleached boards (SBS, SUS): high-quality surface for printing or natural kraft appearance.
• Chipboard/grayboard: economical, dense board for backing, rigid inserts and inner structure.
• Coated application paper: calendered or coated sheets for high-resolution printing and glossy or matte finishes.
• Specialty art and craft board: acid-free, coloured, or textured boards for model making and manual crafts.

What are Cardboard, Application paper used for?

These materials serve practical and decorative roles across commercial and domestic uses.

• Packaging: boxes, cartons, wraps and protective inserts where structure and printability are needed.
• Point-of-sale and displays: stable panels and printed substrates for short-term visual communication.
• Prototyping and mock-ups: cheap, easy-to-cut boards for testing product shapes and packaging designs.
• Crafts and education: model-making, school projects and hobby applications that require sturdy paperboard.
• Printing and finishing: substrates for lithography, digital printing, die-cutting, embossing and lamination.

Key Differences between Cardboard, Application paper

Differences are determined by construction, surface treatment and physical properties.

• Thickness and grammage: measured in gsm or microns, affecting stiffness and protective capability.
• Construction: single-layer boards, multi-ply folding boxboard, or corrugated structures provide different strength-to-weight ratios.
• Surface finish: coated vs uncoated surfaces affect print quality, ink absorption and tactile properties.
• Fiber type and whiteness: bleached versus unbleached fibres influence appearance and suitability for food contact.
• Recyclability and composition: recycled content and coatings determine end-of-life handling and environmental profile.

How to Choose Cardboard, Application paper?

Selecting the right material requires matching product requirements to board properties and processing methods.

• Define functional needs: protection level, load-bearing, foldability and die-cut tolerances.
• Consider printing needs: choose coated boards for high-resolution graphics or uncoated for handwritten or matte finishes.
• Check mechanical specifications: grammage, caliper (thickness) and burst or bending strength for intended use.
• Assess finishing and processing: compatibility with laminating, varnishing, gluing and machine conversion equipment.
• Factor in sustainability: recycled content, recyclability and certifications if relevant to project requirements.
