How to Cut and Shape Triplex Paper Board
Working with specialty paperboards requires both technical precision and an understanding of material properties. Among the most widely used materials in packaging and design is Triplex Paper Board, a three-layered paperboard prized for its rigidity, smooth printing surface, and versatility. Designers, converters, and packaging engineers often need to cut and shape it into cartons, displays, and promotional materials. But to achieve professional results, it’s important to understand the right methods and tools. This guide explores the essential techniques for cutting and shaping Triplex Board, along with practical considerations for industrial and creative applications. Understanding the Structure of Triplex Paper Board Unlike single-ply boards, Triplex consists of three bonded layers: A smooth, white-coated top layer for high-quality printing. A middle layer, often made of recycled fiber, that adds thickness and strength. A backing layer, which may be coated or uncoated depending on t...
