cardboards
Box material sheets
Cardboards is the plural of cardboard, referring to multiple pieces or types of the stiff, thick paper material.
The plural is uncommon because cardboard usually functions as a mass noun: We need cardboard for the project rather than We need cardboards.
When pluralized, it typically distinguishes varieties: different cardboards for different packaging needs.
