Chipboard 3Also known as cardboard or paperboard, Chipboard is thick board made from recycled paper fibers. The material is produced in a variety of grades from very thin to very thick to create different products. Chipboard, made by pressing layers of recycled fiber together to form a larger piece of material, is also affordable and an eco-friendly alternative to other manufactured materials. Here are four of the best ways to use chipboard.



1. Packaging

Chipboard packaging (folding cartons) are made in a variety of thicknesses to keep items protected and stable during shipping. Chipboard is also used in the food service industry for lightweight packaging solutions for foods such as cereal, and snacks..

2. Books and scrapbooking
Chipboard products are popular in the scrapbooking world to add dimension to scrapbook pages. Chipboard can be painted, designed or covered with material or patterned paper. Chipboard is also a light and affordable product used for book covers, binders, calendars, frames and backing of notepads.  

3. Flooring Protection
Thicker, more substantial chipboard is the "go to" for heavy duty floor protection instead of paper. Floor board is commonly used in the construction, and renovation of both commercial and residential buildings. It is easy to install, and can be reused or recycled.

4. Furniture
High-grade chipboard can also be used to create lightweight furniture like tables, benches and bookcases. This type of chipboard is covered in a veneer or laminates to make furniture, which can be less expensive than solid wood.
