What it is.

Cardstock Planning.

Cardstock offers a consistent printable surface and clean scoring for compact cartons. Caliper should be selected around product weight, panel size, finish coverage, and whether the box must resist bowing during retail handling.

Important distinction: Cardstock is typically solid and consistent through the sheet. CCNB uses a coated white print face over a recycled grey-back core, making its appearance and structural behaviour different.
