1.5mm Gray Cardboard Laminated Cardboard 2mm Grey Paper Board Grey Board for Boxes

In the realms of high-end packaging, publishing, and graphic arts, the substrate is the silent protagonist. It is the foundational element that dictates not only the structural integrity of the final product but also the quality of its finish and its perceived value. Our laminated grey board, available in precise calibers of 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm, is engineered to excel in these demanding roles. This is not a simple paperboard; it is a high-density, rigid material designed for applications where failure is not an option, serving as the core component for everything from robust presentation boxes to durable calendar backings.

The exceptional properties of this board begin at the micro-level. It is manufactured through a high-pressure consolidation of 100% recycled paper fibers. This intense compaction is what creates its characteristic high density, a critical physical property rather than a mere claim. A higher density means a greater mass per unit volume, which directly translates to superior rigidity, puncture resistance, and an exceptional resistance to bending and warping under stress or fluctuating humidity. The resulting board is a homogenous, solid sheet, free from the voids and inconsistencies found in lower-grade chipboards, ensuring predictable performance in every sheet.

The "laminated" designation is a key differentiator. After the solid grey core is formed, a dedicated fine paper layer is permanently fused to its surface. This process is transformative. It seals the porous core, creating a barrier that significantly reduces the material's susceptibility to moisture absorption—a primary cause of warping in humid environments. Furthermore, this lamination provides an impeccably smooth, uniform, and consistently grey surface. This finish is non-absorbent and flawlessly even, making it the ideal substrate for high-resolution offset and digital printing, delivering sharp and vibrant colors. It is also the perfect base for sophisticated finishing techniques like foil stamping, embossing, UV spot varnish, and precise lamination with films, as the smooth surface ensures flawless adhesion and a pristine final result.

The availability of specific 1.5mm, 2mm, and 3mm calibers allows designers and manufacturers to select the optimal balance of strength and weight for their project, minimizing material use without compromising on protection.

 This caliber offers an outstanding combination of lightweight flexibility and firm rigidity. It is the ideal choice for rigid book covers for hardback and premium softcover books, high-quality folder and portfolio covers, secondary internal packaging inserts to protect products within a primary box, and sophisticated small-format gift boxes. It provides substantial structural support where extreme heavyweight protection is not the primary requirement.

 Occupying the crucial middle ground, the 2mm board provides a significant step up in structural integrity. It is exceptionally versatile, commonly used for standard-sized premium gift boxes for cosmetics, electronics accessories, and confectionery. Its stiffness makes it perfect for creating durable wall calendars and desk calendars that remain flat and stable throughout the year. It is also the preferred material for game boards, high-end tags, and internal structural panels that require more support than the 1.5mm can offer.

 This is the heavyweight champion of the range, engineered for maximum protection and long-term durability. The 3mm board is specified for large-format luxury packaging for spirits, high-value technology, and boutique apparel. It is used to construct large shadow boxes, presentation cases for collectibles, and permanent point-of-sale displays. For calendar applications, it is used for large-format poster calendars or premium standing calendars that require an absolutely rigid, unbending backing. Its formidable construction ensures contents are protected against significant impacts and crushing forces.

The tangible benefits of this material are clear: its superior warp resistance ensures product longevity and a professional appearance; its high-density core provides unparalleled protection; and its laminated surface guarantees a premium, print-ready finish that elevates any brand. It is a material that speaks of quality before a product is even removed from its box. By selecting this precision-calibered grey board, you are not just choosing a material; you are investing in the structural integrity and perceived excellence of your final product, making it the definitive choice for discerning brands and manufacturers.
