How is Chipboard Made?

​

Paperboard, also known as cardboard, is a type of paper product that is thicker and more durable than regular paper. It is often used for packaging, such as for cereal boxes, shoe boxes, and other consumer products.

The process of making paperboard involves several steps, including:

​

1. Pulp preparation: Wood chips, recycled paper, or other raw materials are broken down into small fibers, which are then mixed with water to create a pulp.

2. Bleaching (optional): If the pulp is not already white, it may be bleached with chemicals to remove any color or impurities.

3. Formation: The pulp is then spread out onto a wire mesh screen, where water is drained away and the fibers begin to bond together.

4. Pressing: The partially-formed paperboard is then pressed between rollers to remove more water and compress the fibers together.

5. Drying: The paperboard is then dried using heat, either by passing through heated rollers or by being placed in a drying oven.

6. Finishing: Finally, the paperboard is trimmed to the desired size, coated with any necessary finishes or coatings (such as a glossy or matte finish), and then cut and folded into the final product.

 

The specific process may vary depending on the type and quality of paperboard being produced, as well as the manufacturer's equipment and techniques.

Why Chipboard is Perfect for Packaging:

 

Paperboard is a popular choice for packaging for several reasons:

 

1. Durability: Paperboard is thicker and more durable than regular paper, making it ideal for protecting fragile or heavy products during shipping and handling.

2. Customizability: Paperboard can be easily printed, cut, and folded into a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it a versatile packaging material.

3. Sustainability: Paperboard is made from renewable resources, such as wood pulp or recycled paper, making it a more sustainable choice than many other packaging materials.

4. Recyclability: Paperboard can be recycled multiple times, reducing waste and conserving resources.

5. Biodegradability: Paperboard is also biodegradable, meaning it will break down over time if it ends up in a landfill.

6. Cost-effective: Paperboard is generally less expensive than many other packaging materials, making it a cost-effective choice for businesses.
