Graupappe

Graupappe, also known as greyboard or chipboard, is a thick, stiff paperboard made from recycled paper pulp. It is typically manufactured in various thicknesses and densities, with its characteristic grey color resulting from the unbleached and uncolored recycled fibers. The manufacturing process involves pressing and drying multiple layers of paper pulp together to form a solid sheet.

Due to its durability and rigidity, graupappe is commonly used in the packaging industry. It serves as a protective layer for products during shipping and handling, often found in the construction of boxes, dividers, and inserts. In the bookbinding industry, it is a standard material for covers, providing a sturdy structure for hardcover books. Furthermore, graupappe finds applications in craft projects, model making, and as a backing material for prints and photographs. Its cost-effectiveness and availability as a recycled product make it an environmentally conscious choice for many applications.
