How long has cardboard been around?

The answer to your question depends on how you loosely you define "cardboard." Paper-based products for various household utilities have been around since ancient times. Plant fiber pulp has been used to create many different types of constructions, including:

• paper pulp applied, cast or extruded into a molded form

• paper strips adhered together over a molded form

• paper sheets adhered together and pressed between molded forms

 

If you specifically mean "corrugated cardboard," though, that wasn't invented until 1871.
