Etymology

The word 'paperboard' originated from the combination of the words 'paper' and 'board', reflecting its structural properties that exceed standard paper. The term likely gained prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as industrial processes for manufacturing paper products advanced. During this time, the packaging industry saw significant innovations, with paperboard being recognized for its versatility and strength in producing boxes and containers. The rise of paper recycling in the mid-20th century further popularized paperboard, as manufacturers sought sustainable materials for packaging. Today, paperboard continues to play a crucial role in various industries, emphasizing environmental sustainability while meeting the demands of modern packaging.
