Pressboard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pressboardis a class ofcellulose-based material constructed of several layers (plies) ofpaperwhich, when compressed using a combination of heat and pressure, form a stiff, dense material in a range of weights.[1]Pressboard has been widely used in traditional school and office products such asspiral-boundnotebooks and three-ring binders, but its unique physical characteristics lend itself readily to a variety of end-uses, including (but not limited to) document storage, filing supplies (classification and file folders), report covers, folding cartons, tags, labels, and industrial applications.[2][3][4]It is commonly used to make the back panels ofradiosand sometelevisions.Pressboard may be converted using a number of different techniques (scoring, folding, die-cutting), and accepts a range of value-add decorating techniques (coating, foil-stamping, screen-printing, and embossing). Pressboard may contain recycled fiber content (includingpost-consumer waste), and is typically itselfrecyclableandbiodegradable,making it an environmentally-sound choice for those seeking an alternative to petroleum-derived substrates. Pressboard has also been made fromcornstalks.[5]
