What is the difference between coated paper and other paper?

The thickness of coated paper has a variety of specifications, and different thickness ranges can be obtained according to different classification standards. In general, the thickness of coated paper can be classified from two dimensions: one is according to the thickness range, and the other is according to the specific thickness value or paper weight.

Classification by thickness range:

Thin coated paper: thickness between 0.08-0.15mm.

Medium coated paper: thickness between 0.20-0.25mm.

Thick coated paper: thickness between 0.30-0.5mm.

According to the specific thickness value or paper weight:

Common coated paper grams include 70g, 80g, 100g, 105g, 128g, 150g, 157g, 180g, 200g, 230g, 250g, 300g, 350g, 400g, 450g and so on. Although the thickness corresponding to these grams varies according to the specific manufacturing process and raw materials of the paper, in general, the greater the gram weight, the thicker the paper.

It should be noted that the thickness and gram weight of coated paper is one of the important factors affecting the printing effect. When selecting coated paper, its thickness and gram weight should be comprehensively considered according to the specific printing needs and budget. At the same time, different brands and types of coated paper may have different thickness specifications and quality characteristics, so it is best to consult a professional printing service provider or paper supplier to obtain accurate product information and recommendations before purchasing.

In general, the thickness specifications of coated paper are varied to meet different printing needs and application scenarios. In the selection, should be combined with the actual needs and paper characteristics for comprehensive consideration.
