If they cut and pasted text from a real company called Eska Graphic Board, then surely the translation has to be graphic board? If Eska is a world leader in this product, surely they would know what it was called in English? I think you're making things overly complicated :-)

cardboard for graphic/printing applications.

Michael Beijer (asker) Sep 17, 2014:

Hi Evgeny, Yeah, I was wondering about that, but that kind of sounds like the cardboard itself is visual, or drawn, if you see what I mean.

Also, I tend to think of ‘de grafische industrie’ as ‘the printing industry’, rather than the graphics industry, so I am not entirely sure about translating ‘grafisch’ using a word in the graphic family, so to speak.

Evgeny Artemov (X) Sep 17, 2014:

What about "graphic cardboard" then? ,

Michael Beijer (asker) Sep 17, 2014:

My text isn't about Eska, or Eska Graphic Board. The author just copy/pasted that into their text. It's actually about an invented company (which they named sth altogether different) and is in a document training future managers how to act in certain scenarios. Role playing etc.

Eska is also a Dutch company, as are most of the refs I can find online calling it ‘graphic board’, hence my question.

I am wondering if it refers to a specific type, or grade of paper. I am just calling it ‘cardboard for the printing industry’ for the time being.

See e.g.:

‘KARTON VOOR DE GRAFISCHE INDUSTRIE

Grafisch karton is papier vanaf 180 g/m² met een andere vezelsamenstelling en meestal opgebouwd uit verschillende lagen. Door de gelaagdheid is karton een soort van technisch 'sandwichproduct' met een bovenkant, een binnenkant en een onderkant waarvan de samenstelling kan worden beïnvloed naargelang de noden van het eindproduct. Dit geeft aanleiding tot een zeer uitgebreide classificatie van de verschillende kartonsoorten.’ (http://www.igepa.be/nl/producten/grafisch-karton )

The company is actually called Eska Graphic Board, which kind of gives it away...

Michael Beijer (asker) Sep 17, 2014:

what has my own research dug up? ‘graphic board’ (see e.g. http://anyterm.info/eur lex/index.php?beseda=grafisch karton...
just not particularly happy with it
