What’s the Most Expensive Cardboard Sheet?

Cardboard sheets are known as a low-cost packaging option. They are widely used to provide a protective layer between stacked products. However, flat cardboard sheet is also a great material for those wanting to get creative.

Spray Painted Placards

The rigid nature of corrugated cardboard sheet, along with the fact that it is easy to paint, means protestors often use it to make placards. These allow their message to be clearly communicated during demonstrations.
