¿What is laid paper?

Laid paper is a paper with a distinctive texture formed by a grid of horizontal and vertical stripes with a slight relief. The original grid of laid paper was a consequence of the papermaking process.

laid paper is highly valued for its texture. As a printer’s paper, laid paper is valued not so much for its weight, stiffness, opacity or clogging rate, but for its texture and color. Laid paper is used in graphic design, advertising and printing. It is ideal for printing invitations, greeting cards, diplomas, training certificates, decorations, etc.

What can be printed on laid paper?

Today, the processes have been modernized. Now, the production of laid paper is done by imitating the finish through the insertion of a special watermark. This watermark is applied in the pressing and sheeting processes.

Laid paper characteristics

Although it has a fragile appearance, laid paper is actually a strong paper, very resistant, and offers great quality and durability. The veins of laid paper give it a very special and elegant texture. It has a wide range of varieties. We opt for the ecological, biodegradable and recyclable ones.

Laid paper is an original and unique paper because its texture is unrepeatable. It is handmade by master paper artisans.

The sustainable value of this paper is 100%, as it is produced from textile waste. Specifically, the remaining white cotton from the textile industry is recycled and used as raw material.

Recycled laid paper: the most sustainable option

Like any other paper, laid paper can also be recycled. For that, it has to be manufactured with fibers recovered from other used papers.

From Sheedo Papers we encourage you to always choose the recycled laid paper option, as it is much more sustainable, and you will be contributing to the protection of our forests and the environment.
