Cardboard
Cardboard is a generic term for a heavy-duty paper of various strengths, ranging from a simple arrangement of a single thick sheet of paper to complex configurations featuring multiple corrugated and uncorrugated layers.
Despite widespread use in general English and French, the term is deprecated in business and industry. Material producers, container manufacturers,packaging engineers, and standards organizations, try to use more specific terminology. There is still no complete and uniform usage. Often the term "cardboard" is avoided because it does not define any particular material.
History
The term has been used since at least as early as 1848, when Anne Brontë mentioned it in her novel, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. The Kellogg brothers first used paperboard cartons to hold their flaked corn cereal, and later, when they began marketing it to the general public, a heat-sealed bag of Wax paper was wrapped around the outside of the box and printed with their brand name. This marked the origin of the cereal box, though in modern times, the sealed bag is plastic and is kept inside the box rather than outside. Another early American packaging industry pioneer was the Kieckhefer Container Company, run by John W. Kieckhefer, which excelled in the use of fibre shipping containers, which especially included the paper milk carton.

Mi Cuadrito
by: Quarto Apartecon un pedacito de tu corazón
mas un poquitico de ese tierno amor
con una pizquita de arena del mar
y el tenue azulito del amanecer
igual al rayito de luz que se escapa poquito a poco anunciando la mañana
igual al olor de la brisa que inunda el aire esos dias dibujando un diciembre
asi eres tu mi chiquitica mezcla de sol y de luna verano y primavera
llena de misterio, mi sueño perfecto tu, me llevas al mundo que quiero
con un pedacito de tu corazón
mas un poquitico de ese tierno amor
con una pizquita de arena del mar
y el tenue azulito del amanecer
Y el cielo sera el lienzo
y los pinceles el viento
y las goticas de lluvia los colores
de mi cuadrito
Y entonces la noche prestó dos estrellas, la tierra dio su belleza y el aroma de la savia
la madrugada me dio el oleo con sus colores y un marquito de madera
asi eres tu mi chiquitica mezcla de sol y de luna verano y primavera
llena de misterio, mi sueño perfecto tu, me llevas al mundo que quiero
con un pedacito de tu corazón
mas un poquitico de ese tierno amor
con una pizquita de arena del mar
y el tenue azulito del amanecer
Y el cielo sera el lienzo
y los pinceles el viento
y las goticas de lluvia los colores
de mi cuadrito
acuarela de tu dulce miel, del color canela de tu piel
un cuadrito voy a dibujar con los colores que tu alma me da. (BIS)
con un pedacito de tu corazón
mas un poquitico de ese tierno amor
con una pizquita de arena del mar
y el tenue azulito del amanecer
Y el cielo sera el lienzo
y los pinceles el viento
y las goticas de lluvia los colores
