Source for Cardboard?

I've had a Kartonowa Kolekcja Sopwith Pup (along with laser cut cardboard frames) for several years, and finally pulled them out yesterday.

Did a little fitting, and the laser laser cutting is amazing - perfect (!).

I then played with some excess kit cardboard, and it cut much easier than the cereal boxes I've used, so I'd like to order some blanks. In that regard, I've spent the morning searching European stores, but can't find anything, probably because I'm using the wrong search terms.

So does anyone have a source, US or otherwise) for the type of cardboard normally used in these kits?

Thanks,

Gene K

If you know someone with a laser cutter (or in my case my teacher has 3) cereal box stuff laser cuts beautifully. Also, if you get prints at Office Depot, they usually give it to you in a cardboard box. I'm sure they would donate that stuff, it cuts super well with scissors and knives.

Very generous of you to offer, but I went to your suggested GPM site, and I will order some from there.

No laser cutter here (yet ), but my Silhouette Curio cutter does a good job with cereal boxes. However, the machine is too weak for anything thicker, like the "usual" 1mm. The kit cardboard cuts easier than cereal cardboard, so will have to try my Curio with it.

I'll head on down there, thanks.
