Relationship Between the Greyboard Thickness and Grammage<\/h2>\n

In China, we usually use the millimeters to measure the thickness of the greyboard, which is also referred to as chipboard. The greyboards that are commonly used to make the rigid box are in 1.5mm and 2mm. However, package manufacturers in North America and Europe use the grammage to measure the greyboard, like 1200gsm, 2000gsm. Then what is the relationship between the greyboard thickness and grammage? How can we easily converse one measurement to another?<\/p>\n

There is a formula to calculate the thickness of the greyboard simply as below.<\/p>\n

Thickness (mm) = Grammage (gsm) * 1.55 \/ 1000<\/p>\n

For example, if the grammage is 1290gsm, then<\/p>\n

Thickness (mm) = 1290 * 1.55 \/ 1000 = 2 mm<\/p>\n

Below is a conversion table for the common greyboard thickness and grammage that are used for the cardboard gift boxes, rigid boxes and set up boxes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

615gsm  1mm<\/p>\n

775gsm  1.2mm<\/p>\n

970gsm 1.5mm<\/p>\n

1160gsm 1.8mm<\/p>\n

1290gsm 2mm<\/p>\n

1420gsm 2.2mm<\/p>\n

1581gsm 2.4mm<\/p>\n

1645gsm 2.5mm<\/p>\n

1805gsm 2.8gsm<\/p>\n

1845gsm 3mm<\/p>\n

2150gsm 3.5mm<\/p>\n

2460gsm 4mm<\/p>\n

Moisture Content of the Greyboard and Stiffness<\/h2>\n

The moisture content affects the greyboard stiffness. It varies from 8% to 13%. When the moisture content is low, the hard cover of the book and the rigid box will have the very good stiffness, resistant to the bending.<\/p>\n

Greyboard Price<\/h2>\n

The price of the greyboard vareis a lot. For the ordinary greyboard, it unit ton price is around 550USD to 700USD. For the Grade A chipboard, the unit ton price would be as high as 850-1000USD. This will affect the rigid box price a lot finally.<\/p>\n
