Features of Light Weight Coated Paper

Light Weight Coated Paper (LWC paper) is a premium-grade coated printing paper positioned between standard art paper and offset paper. It offers excellent color printing performance with high opacity, smoothness, and gloss, making it a preferred choice for high-volume commercial printing.

Key Advantages

1. Excellent Printability

LWC paper features a fine, uniform coating that delivers:

• High printing gloss and enhanced color reproduction

• Smooth surface for sharp text and vibrant images

• Stable ink absorption, reducing smudging and improving printing efficiency

Its print quality is comparable to traditional coated art paper, making it ideal for magazines, catalogs, brochures, and advertising materials.

2. High Flexibility

The paper fiber structure gives LWC paper strong folding and bending resistance, maintaining integrity during high-speed printing, binding, and mailing operations.

3. Anti-Penetration & High Opacity

With tightly arranged fibers and low porosity, LWC paper offers:

• Strong anti-penetration performance, preventing ink bleed

• High opacity, reducing show-through and allowing double-sided printing

This ensures clean, crisp results even for full-color and high-coverage printing jobs.

4. Balanced Strength & Lightweight Design

• Competitive stiffness and caliper

• Lightweight construction that reduces shipping costs and improves handling

• Ideal for large-batch commercial printing where efficiency and cost control are essential

5. Certified Quality Assurance

Manufactured using 100% virgin pulp, LWC paper meets multiple international standards:

• ISO 9001:2000

• ISO 14001:2004

• SGS testing certifications

These guarantee consistent quality, environmental compliance, and reliable performance.
