Product overview
What is Laminated Board?
Laminated Board combines a structural grey board core with selected facing papers on one or both sides. The core provides rigidity and the facing determines appearance and finish.
For a custom construction, specify the core, each facing, finished thickness and panel size. Approve the finished construction on a physical sample.
Material direction
Built around the finished structure.
Select the board by thickness, construction, stiffness and the operations it must pass through.Material highlights

- Facing choices include duplex, black card, kraft, coloured offset and selected specialty papers.
- Large sheets and custom-cut panels by project.

Standard single-sided grades
Kraft liner: 1.2–4.0 mm, 800–2650 gsm. White and black: 1.0–4.0 mm, 650–2650 gsm. Grammage values are indicative. The linked TDS covers these three standard single-sided structures.
What to include in your RFQ
For paperboard with a custom facing for packaging, describe the board core, the facing paper and the finished sheet separately.
| Part | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Core | Board type, target thickness or grammage, and the intended box construction. |
| Facing paper | Reference sample or paper code, colour or finish, and which side or sides require facing. |
| Finished sheet | Target overall thickness, sheet dimensions, required tolerances, conversion steps such as grooving or die-cutting, and order quantity. Identify any criteria to check on a sample, including edge protection and packing labels where required. Include a dimensioned drawing for cut components, grain direction where required, the quantity unit, packing and destination. |
Practical questions
Before you specify.
Can I choose different facing papers?
