KINDS OF PAPER


I have a collection of papers. Most are speciality paper I sue for my paper craft, painting, personalized cards and other things related to arts. I even do origami and scrap booking.

The type, texture, finish, weight and color of paper affect suitability for each one form, so it is important to know which types of paper to use for different projects.

Paper can be categorized into 4 groups namely UNCOATED PAPERS, COATED PAPERS, HANDMADE PAPERS & SPECIALITY PAPERS.

Commercial uncoated papers are cover paper, bond paper, bristol, art paper, drawing paper, recycled, parchment, kraft, paste board and newsprint.

Commercial coated papers are art & printing paper and cover paper.

Handmade papers are handmade rag light, handmade rag heavy, chinese handmade and handmade with embedded objects.

Speciality papers are crepe, tissue, tracing, sugar paper, corrupted and rice paper.
