The recent thread on backer cards made me start looking into options for the material used to make boxes.
I am working on a project for my daughter (a jpop character she likes) and have made a backer card for her. But now I want to try a box.
I have designed one and can print it out no problem, but can't find a cardboard that's the right thickness. (have tried Michael's and online searches so far)
Cardstock and oaktag (posterboard?) aren't thick enough. Googling it tells me maybe I need something called "paperboard" - the type of thing used to make cereal boxes or other retail packages.
Anyone know where one can actually buy some of this material? (preferably in white)
(BTW - for my backer cards - I am printing them on photo paper and pasting it to a comic backing board - comes out nice)
