A wonder material for papercrafters and modellers
I chose this because greycard is a brilliant material for a wide variety of crafts, from model making to papercraft. For the former it's perfect for making model, especially as it can be cut with knives, scissors or electronic paper cutters. Being fibre based it also happily takes a range of glues from a glue stick, to tube glue to PVA.A good example of this versatility can be seen if you ever need to make a model railway building. You could make the shape of a house in greycard then simply stick on texture papers with tube glue. Or you might make the house with greycard and glue on pebbles, wood or eva using hotglue or instant grab adhesive.It's also great when combined with premade card kits as it can provide extra sturdiness. Other uses including making strong but light ground bases for dioramas. Just design your base so it can't warp and self supports and cover it in tile grout and filler.Then, after drying just glue on or use a static grasser to add some scenic material like scatter grass.For papercraft it die cuts well, with very little tearing, and can also be laser cut with care. It's also handy as a stable base when making layered cards, decoupage and shadow boxes in particular, especially as it's light proof.With scrapbooking it can add dimension and texture to pages or for cheaply supporting photos on display boards. Yes it does needs sealing and primer for painting and airbrushing. But it's no big deal to slap on a few coats of PVA, primer or undercoat.Overall? if you want a material that's perfect for mixed media projects, one that's plastic free and easy to recycle, you can't go wrong here. Especially with this product which is well made, nicely smooth 1.5mm thick and best of all affordable at around £1.10 a sheet.

Crafting Goodness
Good quality sturdy cardboard from Acryls UK.I got these to use on crafting projects and they have been strong enough for my needs but I have coated them once cut and modelled to make it more stiff then painted etc.Overy all I am happy with the cardboard and I will be getting them again when needed.

Great for crafting
I love being able to get grey board in A3 size as I sometimes find the A4 a bit restricting. These seems to be well manufactured and a nice thickness. They came well wrapped and in perfect condition.As other reviewers have said, these boards take a variety of glue very well. I shall be using them as booklet covers. I can happily recommend this item.

Sturdy When Dry, Flexible When Damp
These cardboard sheet were exactly what I needed to make a toilet roll storage container. I used two to make a tube after dampening them down with a spray of water and bending them around a couple of cake tins. When the cardboard was dry again, it stayed in shape. I painted a sheet of paper and used wallpaper paste to secure it around the tube and I painted the inside with gloss paint, both of which further strengthened it. The outside was given a coat of clear spray varnish to protect the paint finish and make it easy to wipe clean. Really, that is all that was needed and the tube is a good shape and strong enough to use as intended to store spare toilet rolls.Although the sheets can be used as canvases for acrylic paint, they would need to be framed or else they would bow. The cardboard is beautifully smooth and provides a good painting surface. Excellent sheets for many craft uses but not cheap at over £1 each.

Not really a lot to say...
A well priced pack of good quality grey board.I use it for book covers for book binding as well as for any templates I want to last for a while.Cuts cleanly with a sharp scalpel and takes glue very well.

Good quality for the money
This card is good quality for the money. Has many uses for various art and craft projects. Just a shame a couple of the corners were damaged as it comes in a plastic bag, otherwise would gladly give this 5 stars.

Sturdy
10 sheets of sturdy grey card (actually a warm shade of grey). They're quick thick and strong, and suitable for a range of uses, particularly a base for crafts/models, a backing shim for framing or a window mount if covering it up or you want a more natural look to framed artwork.At just over £1 per sheet, they seem fairly typically priced for this type of product, though I might expect them to be more expensive in a specialist art/craft store, so I can't complain at the price.

Better suited for models, mounting or base for boxes/bags
Superb quality. Wrapped and placed these as a base for mesh shelving unit. Can be use for scaled interior design pitch models or room layouts. Apply primer before using oil-based art supplies. Sprayed mounting adhesive on photo paper back and it stuck well.Hope that helps. Given it 4 stars for now. Waiting to see how it holds up longterm
