Paperboard

When papers are laminated together for the purpose of building up thickness, strength or to achieve other properties, the end product is considered to be paperboard.

Typically, paperboards are used in sheet form, while 30-65 mil thick boards are available in roll form as well.

Other versions, or shapes, can be produced for specific applications.

One common example of a shape is when paperboard is formed to a 90-degree angle.
This structure, Angle Board, is often placed vertically at the four corners of a palletized load of boxes to secure the load and increase its stability.  It is also used to prevent strapping from damaging boxes.

Another version of shaped paperboard is a  “U” channel which can be produced up to 40 feet in length. 
This “U” shape can be produced with customer specific dimensions to fit over long, straight & narrow objects such as a door or lighting fixture.

An extension of the “U” shape is to add a top cover that fits over the base piece forming a crate.  This wood replacement packing method is fast and effective, and the double side-wall (created by adding additional thickness to the sides with the top cover) provides exceptional torque resistance.  We refer to this as beam strength.

Paperboards can be produced with colored top sheets for aesthetics, and with virgin pulp for applications such as archival storage boxes.
