Why Choose Chipboard
About Chipboard
Chipboard provides dense, sturdy construction used as the foundation for rigid boxes and as backing for packaging applications.
Recycled Utility Material
Chipboard is made from recycled paper fibers pressed into sheets, creating economical utility board. The characteristic gray color comes from mixed recycled content. Chipboard serves backing, stiffening, and structural applications.
Behind-the-Scenes Workhorse
While rarely seen by end consumers, chipboard works hard in packaging - as backings for blister packs, stiffeners in mailers, cores for rigid boxes, and structural elements throughout the industry.
Thickness Options
Chipboard is available from thin 20pt sheets to thick 80pt+ boards. Thicker chipboard provides rigidity for structural applications while thinner sheets serve as economical backings and dividers.
