Grafix Medium Weight 12-Inch-by-12-Inch Chipboard-Sheets, White 25-Pack

Product looks sturdy and pricing was perfect! To be used to make handmade hard cover books, looking forward toward to the results!

The white chipboard is harder to come by and usually quite expensive. This is the pack I always purchase because it's a great value and it's good quality.

Good sturdy material but bad shipping!!

I wanted a good stiff chipboard for Mixed Media work, and the Grafix Medium Weight Chipboard Sheets did not disappoint.The picture shows the chipboard cut with the Tim Holtz Cathedral Window Bigz die, and painted with some Dina Wakely acrylics. I ran it through using a Vagabond 2, but it would work as well with the Big Shot or Big Kick machines.The finished die cut is not only sturdy, but will add dimension to whatever piece I use it with.This is probably about as heavy as you'd want to go for die cutting chip board. It's too thick for the really thin dies, but great for the thick 'cookie cutter' Bigz dies.

I bought this product as a possible cover for a traditional Asian stab-bound or Coptic bound book. It is a sturdy heavy product that seems to be cut precisely, perhaps by die-cutting and would be well-suited to this purpose. I do not have any litmus paper so could not test it for acidity. If it is truly acid-free as stated in the description, that would be a plus, but so far as I know, you have to trust the seller on this point if it is important. In my experience, this is kind of a horse apiece with unknown sellers.Chipboard, in this context, is basically the product you generally find on the back of tear-off note pads. It has to be sturdy and inexpensive for that purpose. The only fly in the ointment is that it is not especially "pretty". For my intended purpose, it will probably have something more decorative bonded to it... perhaps a traditional Japanese or Korean hand-made paper.After I have actually used the product, I will perhaps revisit this review and add to it, but as I am in the process of moving my print shop, that may be some while yet.
