Cover board pavo Einbanddeckel ECO DIN A4, sand, 100% recycled cardboard, 250 g/m²

pavo Einbanddeckel ECO DIN A4 in sand is a single-sheet cover board made from 100% recycled cardboard with a grammage of 250 g/m². Designed to serve as a front or back cover, this A4-format board provides a stiff, recyclable solution for bookbinding, report covers, folders and craft projects that require a durable, neutral-coloured protective layer.

Advantages

The cover board offers a stable, recyclable alternative to coated or plastic covers while maintaining a neutral sand colour suitable for professional and craft applications. Its 250 g/m² weight gives a balance of stiffness and workability, allowing for clean folding, cutting and gluing without excessive bulk. Being made entirely from recycled cardboard reduces environmental impact and supports sustainable production choices.

Suitable for

• Bookbinding: front and back covers for softbound and handmade books
• Report and presentation covers for offices and schools
• Folder inserts and document protection
• Scrapbooking, cardmaking and other paper craft projects
• Prototyping and model making requiring a rigid paperboard

When it may not be suitable

This recycled cardboard cover board is not intended for applications that require waterproofing, heavy-duty impact resistance or varnished surface finishes. It may not perform well where frequent wetting or exposure to humid conditions is expected, and it will show wear faster than coated or plasticized covers when subjected to repeated abrasion.

Key specifications

• Format: DIN A4 (approx. 210 x 297 mm)
• Material: 100% recycled cardboard
• Weight: 250 g/m² (stiff paperboard)
• Colour: sand (neutral beige tone)
• Supply: single sheet

How to use

Use the cover board as a front or back cover by trimming to size, folding or creasing where necessary, and attaching it to bound signatures or document stacks with glue, tape or binding strips. For folders or report covers, align the board with printed pages and fix at the spine with an appropriate adhesive or binding method. For crafting, cut and score the board using a craft knife and ruler; test adhesives and inks on a scrap corner to ensure compatibility with the recycled surface.

What to consider before purchase

• Check that 250 g/m² stiffness meets your project's rigidity requirements.
• Confirm the sand colour is suitable for your aesthetic or printing needs.
• Plan for single-sheet supply; purchase multiple sheets if you need several covers.
• Not suitable for moisture-prone or high-wear environments without additional protection.

Usage recommendations

For a professional finish, combine the board with a thin transparent or protective sleeve if documents will be handled frequently. When using adhesives, allow drying time and use pressure to ensure secure bonding; for visible edges, sand or trim cleanly to maintain a neat appearance.
