Cardboard

==History==
The production of paper had already developed as a labour-divided manufacturing procedure in the 18th century. In the early 19th century, different types of paper appeared along with new wrapping material. At that time, the raw material needed was not wood but rags. It was only in the 1870 that rags were replaced by wood. Straw and wood had been well-known as fibre-containing substances long before. For the production of cardboard, chemists needed to obtain fibres with a wood-pulp ratio of up to 80%. In the middle of the 19th century, manual scooping by means of deckle-edges was replaced by machine manufacture.
==Did You Know That?==
Wrapping for presents and goods of all sorts, as well as toys of cardboard and pretty boxes of all colours are very fashionable at the moment. Instead of paper bags and full shopping baskets, it is very fashionable to carry home cardboard containers and boxes with precious contents. Kids crazily search for boxes and round containers made of cardboard. They either put their favourite toys into them or build wonderful houses and play-cities out of them. And at Christmas, Santa Claus may even bring a 'Jack in the Box'!
