Talk:Paperboard

10mm
Ive Never seen paperboard over 10mm in thickness its more likely 1mm or below and 10mm is 0.394 inch not 0.010 most likely that the Inch measurement is correct as 0.010 of an inch is 0.254mm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.90.39.99 (talk) 10:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Merge Card stock to here
The Card stock article does not present sufficient information to stand on its own. As it is a subset of paperboard, it should be merged into this article. Neelix (talk) 00:19, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 * A more obvious merge target is Cardboard. 88.235.150.249 (talk) 14:32, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Linked to Clearwater Paper Corporation
I just turned the text "Clearwater", in the section that lists producers, into a wikilink to the Clearwater Paper Corporation page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scixx (talk • contribs) 23:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Term
"Sometimes it is referred to as cardboard, which is a generic, lay term used to refer to any heavy paper pulp based board." I'd say "It is almost always called cardboard, which is a generic, lay term used to refer to any heavy paper pulp based board." I'd never heard 'paperboard' before (I'm from the UK) and 94 million google hits to 1.4 million suggest cardboard is far more often used. Malick78 (talk) 19:34, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The term Cardboard can have many different meanings as shown on the disambiguation page. In general household usage it is not important but more precise language is used within the paper and packaging professional community. Pkgx (talk) 15:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Oak-tag
Does anyone have any ideas as to where to list information about oak tag on Wikipedia? I know that it goes by at least three spelling variations: oak-tag, and oak tag, oaktag. Apparently only one of these forms has its own article, consisting of a redirect to Tagboard (disambiguation). I recommend that all three forms redirect to a page other than a disambiguation page; or, if notable enough, 'oak tag' should have its own section in an article or its own article. Because even though it's a commonly-used term, it isn't even mentioned on a Wiki article., save for a one-word passing reference that incorrectly labels oak tag as the material used for manila folders.

Millboard
Millboard now redirects here but the term isn't mentioned in this article. Is there a place to add it? RJFJR (talk) 01:38, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Not too happy about the 1800s date
multi-ply paperboard was used for centuries for bookbinding: handmade paper is hard to make thick, thus multiple sheets were glued together, which describes a "composite material" :-), light and strong, but rather expensive - thus in the American colonies thin wood boards were used instead, as a very distinctive and local way to do bookbinding. Not even mentioning the ancient Egyptian so called "papier mache sarcophagi" Yama Plos  talk  18:32, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
