CARD

CARTON BOARD:

  • Carton board is produced from recycled carton board and paper as well as some new wood fibres. The material can be bleached or unbleached and has a surface that can be readily printed on. The thinner carton boards usually have one printable white surface, the reverse remaining self-coloured.
  • The term 'carton board' covers a range of packaging materials from single layer card for products such as cereal packages or soft drinks through to multi-layer corrugated cardboard in a variety of weights and thicknesses.
  • Packaging made from carton boards consists of folded and glued shapes, the shape giving the packaging its strength and rigidity.

CORRUGATED CARD:

  • Contains two or more layers of card with interlacing fluted inner section. The fluted inner section adds strength to the card without a huge increase within its weight. Used for packing items that need protecting during shipping.

MOUNT BOARD:

  • Good quality thick card
  • Coloured surface
  • Used for final models
  • Used for mounting work

REFLECTIVE FILMS AND HOLOGRAMS:

  • Certain techniques of printing have allowed development in printing holograms onto high security items such as bank notes (which are a form of high grade plastic paper that have been treated with specific techniques such as watermarks and metalized strips) and credit/debit cards.
