What are the types of tag coated paper?

As a commonly used material in printing and packaging, tag coated paper has a variety of types to meet different printing and design needs. The following are the main types of tag coated paper:

First, classification by coating surface

1. Single-sided coated paper:

Bright surface, uniform coating, fast ink absorption, with good printability, especially suitable for delicate color printing. This kind of paper is mainly coated on one side, and the other side maintains the texture of the base paper.

2. Double-sided coated paper:

Double-sided coating, both sides have a good smoothness, so that both sides can be printed with high quality. This kind of paper is suitable for occasions where double-sided printing is required and the printing effect on both sides is higher.

Second, classification by special process or effect

Although these classifications do not directly target the specific types of tag coated paper, in practical applications, tag coated paper can also be specially treated or achieve specific effects as needed:

Cloth coated paper: through special processing, the paper presents the cloth effect, increasing the three-dimensional sense and visual level of printed matter. This paper is rare in tag design, but can be used for specific styles of tag making.

Matte coated paper (matte coated paper) : Compared with glossy coated paper (commonly referred to as coated paper), the surface of matte coated paper is non-reflective, ink absorption is good, and the printing ink is relatively thick, which is suitable for the design of the tag that needs soft visual effects or low-key texture.

Third, classification by weight or thickness

The weight or thickness of coated paper is also an important indicator to distinguish its type. The thickness of coated paper commonly used for tags includes but is not limited to the following:

105 g to 350 g per square meter: This is a common thickness range for coated paper, and different thickens of paper are suitable for different printing needs and design styles. For example, the thinner coated paper is suitable for mounting on the surface of the packaging box or as a self-adhesive label; Thicker coated paper (such as more than 250 grams) is more suitable for tags, gift boxes and other packaging materials that need a certain stiffness and texture.

Especially mentioned common specifications: such as 150 grams, 200 grams, 250 grams and other double copper paper, these specifications of coated paper printing difficulty is low, rich color, is one of the most commonly used materials in the production of conventional tags.

In summary, there are many types of tag coated paper, which can be classified according to multiple dimensions such as coating surface, special process or effect, and weight or thickness. In practical applications, the choice of which type of coated paper mainly depends on the design needs of the tag, the printing effect and cost considerations.
