Chipboard and corrugated cardboard each come with unique properties and benefits that suit specific types of product packaging. The following are the main difference between the two options:
Chipboard: Chipboard is slurry of hot water and recycled paper which, when pressed, produces different thickness that creates a paperboard product with a clean, fine finish. It boasts a smooth surface and pressed edges, making it the perfect packaging material for gift boxes, product sleeves, and other boxes. Unlike corrugated cardboard, chipboard is less expensive to manufacture and ship.
Corrugated cardboard: Corrugated cardboard comes as a fluted recycled material that has been sandwiched between a top and bottom liner board. Although corrugated cardboard is lightweight, it can take in massive weight due to fluting. It is also more costly to manufacture and ship compared to chipboard. However, corrugated cardboard can be folded and cut into various shapes. They also facilitate extensive stacking without wearing out. Our corrugated cardboard materials are also ideal for every step of your supply chain processes. Bling Bling Packaging carries the following types of corrugated cardboard:
