Coated paper is a common paper material in the printing industry. For a printing company, Coated paper has a wide range of applications and is also very popular among customers. Whether it‘s the inner page, cover, or single page, it will be used. If copperplate paper is classified according to its usage based on different grams, it can be mainly divided into the following four types:
1.105g and 128g coated paper

This is the minimum paper weight for four-color printing in copperplate paper, because paper that is too thin will result in weak occlusion of the printed material, which can easily cause front and back through printing and has a lower cost. So it is commonly used in magazine pages and large quantities of low-grade promotional materials, and is a good choice when the budget is limited.
105g coated paper: This type of paper is relatively lightweight, but still of excellent quality, suitable for printing brochures, single page advertisements, book covers, and inner pages that do not require particularly high paper thickness. It has a smooth surface and high color reproduction, which can display very exquisite printing effects.
128g coated paper: Compared to 105g, this paper is slightly heavier and therefore thicker and firmer. It is very suitable for printing promotional materials that require a certain thickness and texture, such as high-end brochures, corporate annual reports, product catalogs, etc. Similarly, 128g coated paper also has excellent printing effects, which can perfectly present the details of images and text.

This type of paper is widely popular in the printing industry due to its moderate weight and excellent printing effect. It has high stiffness and good smoothness, which can present delicate and clear printed images and text. Whether used to create high-end picture books, brochures, book covers, or as a material for printed materials such as posters and cards, 157g coated paper can exhibit extraordinary texture and visual effects. Its moderate thickness also ensures the stability and durability of printed materials during transmission.
3.200g and 250g coated paper
For companies that pursue quality and product effectiveness, it is a good choice, but due to the improvement of raw material quality, product prices are relatively high. High quality single pages, posters, brochure covers, inner pages, cards, packaging boxes, etc. often use 200g and 250g coated paper.

200g coated paper: This type of paper is relatively thick and has good stiffness and ink holding properties, making it very suitable for making printed materials that require a certain degree of thickness and texture, such as high-end picture books, corporate annual reports, product catalogs, etc. It has a smooth surface and high color reproduction, which can perfectly present the details and color levels of the image.
250g coated paper: Compared to 200g coated paper, it is thicker and firmer, and is usually used to make printed materials that require extremely high paper quality, such as hardcover book covers, high-end gift box packaging, etc. This type of paper not only adds a sense of prestige to printed materials, but also leaves a deep visual impression on people.
4.300g and 350g Coated Paper
This weight of coated paper is relatively less commonly used in current printing because cardboard can replace it in many aspects. However, a small portion of brochure covers, packaging boxes, handbags, etc. also choose 300g and 350g coated paper.

300 Coated Paper: This type of paper has excellent thickness and texture, making it very suitable for making printed materials that require high texture and heaviness. For example, high-end picture books, brochures, corporate annual reports, etc. can be made using 300g coated paper to ensure the overall quality and visual effect of the printed materials. Its surface is smooth and the colors are bright, which can perfectly present the details and color levels of the image, adding a sense of delicacy to the printed matter.
350g Coated Paper: Compared to 300g Coated Paper, it is thicker and almost as thick as cardstock. This type of paper is usually used to make printed materials that require extremely high paper quality, such as covers for hardcover books and packaging boxes for high-end gifts.
