The apparel industry uses chipboard for folding and packaging purposes.  Garments are occasionally folded over a chipboard to provide stability for the folded garment.  The chipboard can also help maintain the measurement required of the folded garments. 

The chipboard is typically, paperboard or cardboard, which is produced in various thickness or paper stock.  It might made up of one or several plies. Chipboard, usually gray or brown in color, is made from re-pulped paper and is traditionally used to add stability to notepads and shrink-wrapped packages or used for divider pads in shipping.

Guidelines for printing chipboard are similar to those for printing corrugated cardboard. Chipboard is sold by the sheet or bundle. Common sheet sizes include 22-½ x 34-½ inches, 26 x 38 and 28-½ x 34-½. The thickness of a piece of chipboard determines its weight, measured in points, with 16–80-point weights being the most common.

Chipboards provide support so that the garment does not flop around.  The chipboard is used during the folding and packing process.  Chipboards are used to assists with holding shape. A type of paperboard (cardboard) generally made from reclaimed paper stock (but not required to be reclaimed paper stock); the term generally used in the US.

Within the industry, paperboard is referred to by weight (grams per square meter, pounds per 1000 square feet) or by thickness (mm or thousandths of an inch, or 'points' - for example, 0.007" thick paperboard is also known as 7-point.  The chipboard can come in various colors, coating, shapes and weights. 

Board thickness is an unreliable metric, due to manufacturing variations. However, a rough guide is: C flute is 5/32 inch thick, B flute is ⅛ inch thick, and E flute is 1/16 inch thick.
