What Is Chipboard? Your Complete Guide to This Essential Packaging Material
Chipboard is an engineered material made by compressing wood chips or recycled paper fibres with resin under heat and pressure. It exists in both wood‑based panels and paperboard grades used for rigid boxes and backing cards. Typical panels include moisture‑resistant, melamine‑faced or veneered types, with densities and finishes matched to interior or packaging use. The process repurposes waste wood and paper, reinforcing its sustainable profile. It provides flatness, dimensional stability, and print‑ready surfaces at comparatively low cost.
