-
Grey Chipboard Main structure material for rigid book boxes & lid-base gift boxes. Thickness 1.5mm–3mm, strong support. Covered with surface paper for premium cosmetic, collectible and luxury sets.
-
White Cardboard Good stiffness, printable directly, widely used in folding cartons. No lamination required, shorter lead time for mass small goods.
