Rigid Material

Rigidity is a key property that ensures a material maintains its shape and structure under diverse conditions, reflecting its ability to withstand stress without damage. Among materials known for rigidity, grey chipboard excels, offering exceptional strength and versatility, making it an ideal choice for robust packaging boxes.

What is Greyboard?

Greyboard, also known as chipboard or grey chipboard, is a robust paperboard crafted entirely from recycled wood pulp. Renowned for its exceptional strength and rigidity, it ranges in thickness from 1mm to 4mm or more, surpassing standard calliper measurements.
In premium printing and packaging, grey chipboard is a standout rigid stock material, offering unmatched durability and stability for various products. Its steadfast integrity makes it a preferred choice for sturdy packaging boxes, underscoring its vital role in contemporary packaging and printing trends.
Unlike standard cardboard, which consists of paper fibers bonded with adhesives, grey chipboard is thicker and lacks corrugated layers, resulting in a solid, non-hollow board. Typically grey, its color can vary with specific additives, enhancing its versatility.

Composition

Grey chipboard is composed of wood fibers or chips blended with synthetic resin, formed into a thick, robust board through heat and pressure. This process yields a sturdy material capable of withstanding significant impacts.
Its stiffness and smoothness can be tailored by adjusting density, enhancing rigidity and durability. For packaging, greyboard is favored for its cost-effectiveness and versatility, as it can be easily glued, cut, inked, and printed, making it ideal for diverse applications.
