Description
A generic name for a heavy Paper that is at least 0.012 inches thick. Some paperboards, such as Millboards or Mat Boards, are made from thick paper pulp castings that are milled or pressed into a hard, stiff sheet. Pasteboard is made from several laminated sheets adhered together. The term Cardboard is ambiguous and more often used for a paper product formed with a central corrugated sheet laminated with smooth exterior sheets.
