Paper
Overview
Our Newsprint is designed for high-speed printing and mass distribution of newspapers, periodicals, flyers, and promotional materials. It provides an excellent balance between affordability, lightweight handling, and sufficient print clarity, making it the go-to paper for time-sensitive publications and large circulation print runs. Produced with attention to cost-efficiency without compromising on essential qualities, our newsprint supports businesses, media outlets, and educational platforms in delivering information effectively.
Key Features
-
GSM Range:
Typically available between 40 – 55 g/m², our newsprint is lightweight yet sturdy enough for quick processing and stacking. This weight offers ease of handling and cost-effective logistics, especially in large volumes. -
Print Performance:
Engineered to absorb ink quickly while minimizing smudging, newsprint delivers legible text and moderately sharp images under high-speed web and sheet-fed printing presses. It’s ideal for rapid production with consistent results. -
Surface Texture:
The slightly rough texture supports ink adherence while avoiding excessive bleed-through. It provides enough tooth to ensure uniform printing without excessive ink consumption. -
Opacity:
With opacity levels around 85–90%, this paper reduces light penetration, helping to improve readability and reduce distraction from reverse-side content. -
Brightness:
Newsprint brightness is generally around 40–60% ISO, which offers adequate contrast for standard black-and-white printing, while being economical for mass printing needs. -
Moisture Control:
Maintained at 4–6% moisture, it ensures that the paper stays dimensionally stable during storage and printing, preventing curling or tearing. -
Bulk & Stiffness:
Designed with appropriate bulk for foldability and stacking, newsprint resists deformation under pressure, making it suitable for transport and distribution.
