pasteboard
Thin rigid sheet
Pasteboard is stiff, thick paper made by pasting sheets together or from pressed paper pulp—essentially thin cardboard.
The word often appears in older texts referring to materials for boxes, cards, or bookbinding.
Playing cards were traditionally made from pasteboard, so pasteboard became a somewhat literary term for playing cards themselves: a deck of pasteboard.
