Why Choose Chipboard
Chipboard — Economical Thick Board for Backing Cards, Hang Tags, and Structural Packaging
Chipboard is a dense, gray-brown recycled paperboard produced from secondary fiber without clay coating — the economical alternative to premium greyboard for applications where appearance is less critical than structural function. Chipboard is the material of backing cards, hang tags, book covers, game components, and structural packaging components where the board will not be seen or where its natural gray appearance is acceptable.
Available in a wide range of thicknesses from thin (0.5mm) backing card grades to thick (3mm+) structural board, chipboard provides rigid structure at the most competitive cost point in the rigid board category. For applications requiring the structural function of rigid board without the premium appearance requirements of greyboard-wrapped luxury boxes, chipboard is the practical choice.
Chipboard Applications in Packaging
Backing cards for blister and clamshell packaging use chipboard laminated to a printed face sheet — the chipboard provides structural rigidity while the face sheet carries brand graphics. Hang tags for apparel and accessories use chipboard die-cut to the required shape with a face-printed label applied. Rigid box inner trays and dividers use chipboard for structural separation without the premium material cost of full rigid greyboard. Game boards and playing cards use chipboard for dimensional stability.
Chipboard vs Greyboard: Choosing the Right Grade
Chipboard and greyboard are both recycled-content rigid boards, but greyboard is produced to tighter dimensional tolerances, higher density, and more consistent flatness for premium packaging applications. Chipboard is the economical alternative where these premium characteristics are not required. For luxury box construction where wrapping is applied over the board, greyboard is the appropriate specification. For structural components that will be hidden or covered, chipboard provides the necessary function at lower cost.
Custom Packaging for Oregon's Progressive Economy
Oregon — and Portland particularly — leads the country in sustainable business practices, craft food culture, and independent brand identity. Nike, Adidas, Columbia Sportswear, and dozens of major outdoor and lifestyle brands are headquartered here. The craft beer, coffee, wine, and artisan food scenes are nationally acclaimed. Oregon's cannabis market is one of America's most mature. And the state's technology sector in the Silicon Forest employs tens of thousands. Each sector's packaging needs reflect Oregon's progressive, quality-first values.
Portland Sustainable and Craft Brand Packaging
Portland's brand culture is defined by sustainability, craft quality, and independent identity — and its packaging market reflects these values intensely. FSC-certified board, recycled content options, compostable materials, and soy-based inks are not premium options for Portland brands — they are baseline expectations. We produce sustainable packaging for Portland's natural, organic, and artisan brands that genuinely communicates environmental responsibility.
Oregon Cannabis Compliance Packaging
Oregon has one of the world's most mature legal cannabis markets. Oregon OLCC-compliant child-resistant packaging with required warning statements for Oregon's competitive dispensary market is available. Oregon's cannabis brands compete heavily on packaging quality — premium finishes, distinctive design, and sustainable materials are all part of the Oregon cannabis packaging landscape.
Willamette Valley Wine and Agricultural Packaging
Oregon's Willamette Valley is one of the world's finest Pinot Noir regions, with wines commanding international premium prices. Wine packaging for Oregon wineries must communicate the valley's terroir reputation and the producer's premium positioning. We produce wine gift packaging and DTC club packaging for Willamette Valley wineries.

Chipboard Packaging in Oregon — FAQs
What thickness chipboard is standard for hang tags?
Most apparel hang tags use 1mm to 1.5mm chipboard — thick enough to feel substantial in hand but thin enough to punch, die-cut, and string efficiently. Heavier hang tags for luxury brands use 2mm chipboard.
Can chipboard be printed directly?
Chipboard's gray surface does not provide good print quality for CMYK printing. For printed applications, chipboard is typically laminated with a printed face sheet (paper or thin board) that provides the print surface while chipboard provides the structural backing.
Is chipboard the same as greyboard?
They are similar materials — both are dense, recycled-content rigid boards. Greyboard is produced to tighter quality standards with higher density and more consistent flatness. Chipboard is the economical version appropriate for applications where premium board quality is not required.
Can chipboard be used for book covers?
Yes. Chipboard (often called 'binder's board' in book binding applications) is the standard material for hardcover book covers — the same rigid board construction used in rigid box manufacturing.

Chipboard components start at 100 units. Custom die-cut chipboard shapes start at 100 units.
