As you may know, some kiss-cuts are left thick and require additional cutting or even twisting to help remove the pieces and prevent them from tearing the backsides away. The HOB Chipboard is the same thickness that you are used to seeing with your AH counters but it will feel harder. The HOB Chipboard is harder because we use a more firm piece of material. This material will resist warping and bending much better than the AH chipboard that most of your counters are mounted on and it will also be less apt to flake or split. Additionally, the HOB Chipboard has been coated with a substance which prevents it from absorbing moisture.
Regular chipboards can take in moisture simply by being exposed to humid conditions.
Our coated Chipboard will keep your counters flat and true for a much longer time than the chipboard that most of your counters are on. The price we pay for this exceptional Chipboard is higher than that of the normal chipboards. Additionally, because our Chipboard is harder our Die cutting blades get dull much faster and we must have them sharpened on a more regular basis. Your cries for combat were heard 'round the world. Once again, HOB is bringing the ballot box to the slit trenches and giving you, the filthy grunt, the chance to decide the fate of your future HASL products.
