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)

No, seriously, "cardboard" is generally made of multiple layers of paper. The most common variety has a layer of stiff paper glued to a corrugated ("rippled") paper, glued to another layer of stiff paper.

There are many downfalls to using cardboard boxes as storage. Cardboard boxes are not as sturdy as boxes made of other materials, such as plastic, so they can be dented, damaged, or broken fairly easily. They are also not air-tight, which means that damaging factors such as water or moths can potentially get inside the box and destroy the contents.
