Types of Industrial Paper
Paper is visible all around us, especially in companies in fields such as printing, footwear, apparel, or product packaging. Below is information on several commonly used types of industrial paper.
Key Types of Packaging Paper
When selling or introducing a product to customers, packaging is certainly the first aspect to focus on, as it plays a crucial role in capturing customer attention. On today’s market, there are many types of packaging paper in use:
Pattern Paper
Pattern paper is commonly used in industry and is produced from various types of pulp. Pattern paper for garment making comes in a wide range of colors—from bright white to darker tones—and varies in thickness, smoothness, moisture absorption, and adhesive properties. These characteristics can be tailored to meet customer requirements, depending on the pattern plotter being used.
Kraft paper is also widely used in production. It’s commonly found in food packaging, cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, or lining materials due to its high durability, slightly rough surface, and excellent ink adherence. Compared to similar products, kraft paper is more affordable and easier to produce, making it a popular choice.
