What are cardboard boxes made of?

Paperboard is a thin and flat material in sheet form made up from an interlaced network of cellulose fibres. It is usually made in several layers, combined together in the wet state. A white mineral pigmented coating is applied in one or more layers, on one or both surfaces, enhancing whiteness and smoothness and providing a surface for printing and varnishing. The main raw material for paperboard is cellulose, the basic organic matter of wood. The fibres are derived from different kinds of trees, mainly pine, spruce and birch. The process by which the fibres are separated from wood is known as pulping. Fibres derived directly from wood are known as "primary" or "virgin" fibres. When used paper and paperboard are repulped, the fibres are known as "secondary" or "recycled" fibres. Paperboard can be divided into four different grades: SBB, SUB, FBB and WLC: • SBB stands for Solid Bleached Board • SUB for Solid Unbleached Board • FBB for Folding Box Board • WLC for White Lined Chipboard. SBB, SUB and FBB are made from virgin fibres while WLC is mainly made from recycled fibres. (all information from IGGESUND PAPERBOARD AB)

How do you make a human cardboard figure?

This would depend entirely on your skill level as well as what you mean by human figure. A 2D model is simple enough - just have someone lie down on a large sheet of cardboard and trace around them, cut out the silhouette and voila. 3D projects have lots of variety in their execution. It is a typical exercise in most art colleges to have students make 3D cardboard human models. Viewing a college art gallery or touring their workshops first hand is a great way to see their methods, techniques and results. When working with cardboard, a X-acto knife is your best friend. That and a glue gun, depending on your style. Some people tear away the paper on one side in order to expose the paper ribs inside the cardboard. This makes the cardboard pliable. With the ribs exposed the cardboard can now be rolled into limbs, fingers, etc. Some artists prefer to make cuboid figures and so only score one side of the cardboard with their knife where they wish it to bend. This makes for cube-like limbs and features. Some like it difficult and cut each individual piece and reassemble it onto a frame or use styrofoam blocks as glue points to connect the panels to each other. You will have to experiment and decide what style and look is the one for you and your project. If you need lots of cardboard you can request it by going to companies/restaurants/grocery stores that have a lot of incoming shipping - usually they just break down the boxes and ship them out to the trash or for recycling if not reuse. Make sure never to take cardboard that is wet, has been wet, or has organic mess on it (such as fruit or vegetable boxes) - they are not good material.

Why is cardboard a bad insulator?

The problem with using cardboard as an insulator is that it is too easily damaged in a variety of ways. It tears easily, it can be set on fire relatively easily, it absorbs water very easily and it will disintegrate or become moldy, if it does get wet. So although cardboard is an insulator, it is not durable enough for most purposes that require an insulator.
