Uncoated Paper For Shirt Saree

B26: Uncoated paper is a type of paper that does not have a shiny, glossy finish, unlike coated papers that are treated with a layer of clay or other coatings to enhance their appearance. Uncoated paper retains its natural texture and is typically used in applications that require a more organic feel or a matte finish. When it comes to printing on materials like shirt or saree labels or tags, uncoated paper can offer a unique aesthetic and tactile quality. Here’s a detailed description and specification for uncoated paper used in shirt and saree tags: Description: Finish: Uncoated paper has a rough or matte finish that offers a natural feel, without any shiny surface. Appearance: The uncoated surface can have a slight texture, giving it a more rustic and organic look. This makes it suitable for use on high-quality or artisanal products like shirts and sarees, where the focus is on a handcrafted and eco-friendly image. Durability: While uncoated paper is less resistant to moisture and wear than coated paper, it is still strong enough for tags and labels that will not be exposed to excessive rough handling. For added durability, uncoated paper can be treated with a varnish or protective coating. Print Quality: This paper type absorbs ink quickly, giving a slightly muted print compared to coated paper. The result is usually soft, less glossy text or graphics with a more subdued appearance. Eco-friendliness: Uncoated paper is often seen as more environmentally friendly because it typically requires fewer chemicals and coatings in its production. It can also be recycled more easily. Uses: It is often used for tags, labels, and packaging in high-end products such as clothing, including shirts and sarees. It gives the product a premium, natural appeal. Specification: Paper Weight: Common weight for labels/tags: 120 gsm to 300 gsm Variants: May come in various thicknesses, but 200 gsm is common for tags used in clothing. Size: Standard Size: Can vary depending on the application, but the most common sizes for clothing tags and saree labels are typically between 4 cm x 7 cm and 8 cm x 10 cm. Customization: Custom sizes can be created based on requirements. Texture: Natural, rough, or matte texture (this varies based on the brand and type). The surface is typically non-glossy, giving a rustic and handmade feel. Brightness: Uncoated paper tends to have a lower brightness compared to coated paper (typically between 70 and 85 brightness). The low brightness allows it to offer a more subdued and elegant print, often preferred in the fashion industry for sophisticated products like sarees and high-end shirts. Color Options: Can be found in off-white, ivory, and natural tones. Custom coloring options are also available. Printing Process: Methods: Suitable for offset printing, digital printing, and letterpress printing. Ink Compatibility: Works well with water-based and oil-based inks. Environmental Factors: Recyclability: Uncoated paper is fully recyclable, making it an eco-friendly option. Sustainability: Often sourced from FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) forests, meaning the paper comes from responsibly managed forests. Additional Features: Embossing/Engraving: Uncoated paper can be embossed or engraved to give a unique touch. Die-Cutting: It can be die-cut into various shapes, making it highly customizable for specific label shapes or designs. Applications in Shirt & Saree Tags: Uncoated paper is ideal for use in textile tags for premium and eco-conscious brands. It gives the garment a high-quality, artisanal look and feel, perfect for showcasing the sophistication and natural qualities of the fabrics. Saree tags can benefit from the tactile feel of uncoated paper, offering a traditional yet modern look. The paper’s durability is also important when used for clothing tags, as it will be exposed to various handling processes. Let me know if you need more detailed specifications or advice on using
