Cardboard is the generic name given to any material that is a multi-layered paper product, using adhesive between each sheet making the material relatively sturdy.
There are various types of cardboard and the most thought about is the ‘corrugated card’ which involves two sheets that sandwich a ‘filler’ in this case an intestine like design. This leaves a piece of cardboard with smooth sides and added strength due to the internal corrugated piece. Used mainly in shipping boxes as it is sturdy and gives a great amount of protection.
By using only one or two sheets of cardboard you can create a much simpler type of box used to build gift boxes, due to the softer nature of the cardboard these are not suitable for shipping as they will easily break.
You can use really thin sheets of cardboard or heavy paper to generate mock up models of furniture or even buildings. This is an inexpensive way to express your ideas without committing too much.
It is widely recycled and as it is made from recycled paper then its great for the environment.
