What is the difference between soft and hard paper?

Answer 1

* Cardboard is thicker. It is lots of paper piled on top of each other. * Cardboard versus Paper

Basically, cardboard is made from paper. Paper is generally a thin sheet of cellulosic material [most often, wood fiber] while cardboard is made by laminating two or more sheets of paper.

Also, paper we use to write on [white] is made from bleached cellulosic material, while much cardboard is made from unbleached material and usually has an amber or tan color.

Answer 2

The difference between a cardboard and ordinary paper is the cardboard's rough texture compared to the ordinary paper's smooth surface.

Answer 3

Soft paper is more flexible and lightweight, often used for things like tissue paper or wrapping paper. Hard paper is stiffer and more rigid, commonly used for items like cardboard or cardstock.
