Global Lightweight Coated Paper Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2024

Research Summary

Lightweight coated paper (LWC) is a type of paper that is commonly used for printing high-quality images and text in magazines, catalogs, brochures, and advertising materials. It is characterized by a coating applied to one or both sides of the paper, typically using materials such as clay, calcium carbonate, or other pigments mixed with binders. This coating helps to improve the paper＇s smoothness, opacity, brightness, and printing properties, allowing for sharp and vibrant printing results with minimal ink absorption. LWC paper is lightweight, meaning it has a lower basis weight compared to standard coated papers, making it cost-effective for large print runs while still maintaining good print quality. The combination of a smooth surface and good ink holdout makes LWC paper ideal for high-speed printing processes such as offset and rotogravure printing. Overall, lightweight coated paper strikes a balance between print quality, affordability, and versatility, making it a popular choice in the printing and publishing industries.
