I am now adding a number of packaging materials of cardboard but I do not know this choice, only corrugated cardboard and solid cardboard, but for example a tea box is not paper, but also not corrugated or solid cardboard but ordinary cardboard, please add.

This has been changed to "cardboard (fold and solid)"

Those tea boxes fall under folding cardboard.
That is exactly the same material as solid cardboard, only slightly thinner.

What should I imagine with solid board? If it is what I think it is called gray board.

Thank you Arwin. And Big Bad Wolf is also right, idd that thick hard gray board cardboard is the solid cardboard.

What should I imagine with solid cardboard? If it's what I think it's called grayboard.

Indeed, it is also sometimes called solid board or greyboard.
Solid board is the most common term as far as I know.

The difference is mainly that folding cardboard consists of 3 layers of paper, and solid cardboard consists of 3 to 6 layers.
And of course I also know that wood is also processed in folding cardboard, and only old paper/cardboard is used in solid cardboard.
So in that respect you could separate it.

But then I do wonder whether you should bother importers of packaging, for example, when the difference mainly lies in the thickness.

A distinction must be made between corrugated and "normal" cardboard, I think.
You can also add straw cardboard if needed.

I think making a distinction between folding and solid cardboard is getting a bit too technical for the average collector.
Especially because solid cardboard is usually also covered with paper that contains wood.

I have now changed it to "cardboard"
So now there is only "corrugated cardboard" and "cardboard"
