Overview

Offset paper is mainly used for printing high-quality single-color or multi-color printing products on flat (offset) printing presses or other printing machines. It is suitable for printing single-color or multi-color book covers, text, inserts, posters, maps, promotional pictures, color trademarks, and various packaging products.

In recent years, as people's cultural and living standards have improved, the demand for high-end books and printed materials has increased. Offset paper has become a popular choice for printing books, journals, and other printed materials due to its advantages of high whiteness, stiffness, smoothness, and fine texture. Printed materials made with offset paper have clear text and flat pages that are not easily deformed.
