Paper Types for Exercise Books

When it comes to producing exercise books, one of the most critical components is the type of paper used. We, CWH as the exercise book machinery production company, primarily user utilize woodfree paper, also known as uncoated paper for machine testing.

Advantages of Woodfree Paper

• Durability: The absence of lignin contributes to the paper's strength, making it less prone to yellowing and degradation over time. 

• Writing Quality: This type of paper provides an excellent surface for writing, allowing for smooth ink flow from various writing instruments, including pens, pencils, and markers. This is essential for students who rely on different tools for their note-taking and assignments.

Alternative Paper Options

For the low-end market, some manufacturers opt for recycled paper. While this choice is environmentally friendly, it presents challenges in terms of machinery performance. The quality of recycled paper can vary, and it often requires more rigorous processing to ensure it meets the necessary standards for durability and usability.

Paper GSM

In terms of weight, we typically use woodfree paper within the range of 60g/m² to 90g/m². This weight strikes a balance between sturdiness and flexibility, catering to various consumer preferences.

Regional Preferences on Paper Colour

Interestingly, paper color preferences can vary significantly across regions. For China, there is a demand for yellow or light yellow paper in some domestic areas. This specific choice is often linked to health considerations, such as reducing the risk of nearsightedness in students. The lighter color is believed to be easier on the eyes, particularly during long study sessions.

Conversely, many overseas markets favor white paper, which is often associated with a clean, professional appearance. The choice between yellow and white paper can influence consumers’ purchasing decisions, reflecting cultural preferences and educational practices.

Conclusion

Understanding the different types of paper used in exercise book production is crucial for both manufacturers and consumers. Woodfree paper remains the standard due to its durability and writing quality, while recycled options cater to environmentally conscious consumers. Additionally, regional preferences for paper color highlight the diverse needs and expectations of students around the world. As having near 30 years professional in the printing industry, we are committed to producing high-quality exercise books machine that meet these varied demands in different markets.
