grayboard

Stiff packaging material

Grayboard is a thick, stiff paperboard made from recycled paper, typically gray in color throughout.

It serves as backing material for notepads, picture frames, book covers, and packaging.

The material is valued for its rigidity and low cost rather than appearance, since it's usually hidden behind decorative surfaces.

Also spelled greyboard.
