What are the types of paper used to make paper bags?
1. Kraft paper:
The paper color is yellow brown, and the paper is tough. Mainly used for printing packaging paper, envelopes, paper bags, hand-held paper bags, etc.
2. Kraft cardboard:
Also known as box board paper, it is the product of surface treatment of ordinary kraft paper, with a smoother surface and better waterproof performance. Mainly used for printing cardboard boxes and packaging.
3. Offset paper:
Also known as "Dorian paper", the surface has not been coated with paste, and its glossiness and smoothness are inferior to copperplate paper. Mainly used for printing high-end color printed materials on offset printing machines or other printing machines, such as color magazine pages, brochure pages, promotional posters, high-end books, as well as book covers, inserts, etc.
4. Copperplate paper:
Also known as printing coated paper, this type of paper is made by coating a layer of white paste on the base paper and then calendering it. The surface of the paper is smooth, with high whiteness, low elasticity, and excellent absorption and reception of ink. Mainly used for carrying paper bags, printing covers and illustrations for high-end books and magazines, colored pictures, various exquisite product advertisements, samples, product packaging, trademarks, etc.
5. Matte copperplate paper:
Compared to copperplate paper, it is less reflective. The patterns printed with it, although not as brightly colored as copperplate paper, are more delicate and high-end than copperplate paper. The printed graphics and images have a sense of three dimensionality, so this copperplate paper can be widely used to print magazines, advertisements, landscape paintings, exquisite calendars, character photography pictures, etc.
6. Embossed paper:
It is a type of printed decorative paper specifically produced for lining. There is a subtle pattern on the surface of the paper. Colors include gray, green, beige, and pink, and are generally used for printing monochrome covers. Embossed paper is brittle and prone to breakage of the spine during binding.
7. Light coated paper:
Low weight coated paper, between copperplate paper and adhesive paper, has a color printing effect comparable to copperplate paper, and has good opacity and smoothness. Due to its lower durability, it is more suitable for printing printed materials that do not require long-term preservation, such as advertising flyers and flyers.
8. White cardboard:
Paper has significant characteristics such as high whiteness, firmness and thickness, high durability, and smooth surface. This type of paper is generally used for carrying paper bags, printing business cards, certificates, invitations, covers, monthly calendars, and postal postcards.
