paperboard

Thick packaging material

Paperboard is thick, stiff paper or cardboard used primarily for packaging, boxes, and containers.

It's heavier and more rigid than ordinary paper but lighter than wood-based boards, making it ideal for cereal boxes, shoe boxes, and product packaging.

The material can be coated, printed, or laminated for different applications.

The gift came in a sturdy paperboard box.
