A3 Paper - Cut Varieties
A3 paper refers to sheets of paper measuring 297 x 420 millimeters (11.7 x 16.5 inches). The "CUT" designation indicates pre-cut sheets, as opposed to larger format rolls or boards. This entry details characteristics, applications, and common types of A3 paper.
Material
A3 paper is typically manufactured from wood pulp. Variations in pulp source and processing lead to different grades:
- Woodfree Paper: Made from long cellulose fibres, resulting in a smooth surface, high brightness, and good opacity. Commonly used for professional printing and presentations.
- Mechanical Pulp Paper: Contains more lignin, leading to a coarser texture, lower brightness, and increased yellowing over time. More economical, often used for drafts and internal documents.
- Recycled Paper: Produced from recycled paper fibres. Environmental benefits, but may have lower brightness and strength compared to virgin pulp papers.
- Specialty Papers: Coatings or additives can modify properties. Examples include gloss, matte, waterproof, or carbonless variations.
