What is "cardboard"?

Cardboard is a thick, rigid material made from layers of paper pressed together, commonly used for packaging, construction, and crafting. It is lightweight yet sturdy and can be easily cut, folded, or shaped. Cardboard comes in various forms, including corrugated cardboard, which has a wavy layer between two flat sheets, giving it extra strength. It is commonly used for making boxes, signs, and other items that require durability. In art and craft projects, cardboard is often used for creating models, sculptures, and other creative works due to its versatility and availability.
