Puzzle Board & Laminated Grey Cardboard: Precision Engineered for Durability and Performance
In the worlds of education, entertainment, and premium packaging, the substrate material is not just a component—it is the very essence of the product's durability, feel, and quality. Our laminated grey cardboard, widely recognized as premium puzzle board material and versatile grey chipboard, is engineered to meet the most demanding specifications. Available in critical thicknesses of 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm, as well as a full range from 0.3mm to 4mm, this material provides the perfect foundation for products that require superior flatness, rigidity, and a flawless finishing surface.
Crafted from a robust Mixed Pulp composition, this board strikes an ideal balance between superior stiffness and cost-effective manufacturability. The lamination process applied to the surface creates an exceptionally smooth and consistent base, which is paramount for high-resolution direct printing, lamination with decorative papers, or precision die-cutting. For the puzzle industry, this means pieces that snap together with a satisfying precision and retain their shape without warping. For packaging designers, it provides a pristine canvas for creating luxurious jewelry boxes, rigid phone boxes, and elegant calendar backings that communicate quality the moment they are touched.
Unmatched Structural Integrity for Complex Designs
The core feature of this grey chipboard is its exceptional resistance to bending and deformation. The manufacturing process ensures stable lateral quantitative, meaning the density and weight are uniform across the entire sheet. This consistency is critical for large-format puzzles and packaging, as it prevents unsightly warping that can ruin the user experience. It also ensures flawless performance on high-speed automated die-cutting lines, where inconsistent material can cause jams and misalignment, reducing production efficiency and increasing waste.
Our product is defined by its versatility. Beyond the standard 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm thicknesses, we offer a comprehensive range from a delicate 0.3mm to a substantial 4mm, with a grammage range of 250 to 2600 GSM. This allows our clients to select the exact specification for their application—a 1mm board for a standard puzzle, a 2mm board for a premium puzzle or game board, and a sturdy 3mm or 4mm board for the rigid outer shell of a high-end box.
Customization at Every Stage
We understand that one size does not fit all. This product is at its core highly customizable. The inner core can be tailored for specific performance needs, such as enhanced rigidity for large-format applications. It is available in standard Grey, White, or Black colors, and can be supplied with a coated or uncoated surface, or even as a grey board with one side whiteboard to reduce the need for additional layers in packaging design.
Available in sheets or rolls, and in custom-requested sizes, we aim to minimize waste and streamline your production process. We offer samples for testing and support OEM projects, working closely with you to develop a material that perfectly fits your technical and aesthetic requirements. Furthermore, the board is designed for superior performance in subsequent processing steps, including precision die-cutting, lamination, foil stamping, and gluing.
