Foam Laminated Grey Board

Foam Laminated Grey Board Overview

Foam Laminated Grey Board combines a 1.5–3.0 mm grey board base with 3 mm foam to create cushioned components for certificate folders and padded hardcover book covers. Three confirmed constructions are available: a two-layer board with exposed foam, a three-layer structure with 250 gsm grey top paper, and a three-layer structure with 180 gsm kraft top paper. The quoted base thickness refers to the grey board only, not the total finished laminate thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the listed grey board thickness equal the finished laminate thickness?

No. The 1.5–3.0 mm value refers to the grey board base. The 3 mm foam and any top paper add to the finished structure, while pressing can compress the foam. Approve the assembled sample.

When should I choose a two-layer or three-layer construction?

Choose exposed foam when another covering material will be applied during conversion. Choose a grey or kraft top paper when a paper-facing layer is needed for handling, gluing or the next production step.

What converting details should be tested?

Test cutting, wrapping, adhesive compatibility, pressing pressure, edge build-up and recovery after compression with the intended cover material. Solvent, heat and storage conditions may affect the foam or adhesive.
