Paper Thickness §

Group: 4 #group-4

Relations §

• Fold Endurance: Thicker paper tends to have better fold endurance than thinner paper, as it can withstand more stress before tearing or weakening.
• Porosity: Thicker papers tend to be less porous.
• Tear Resistance: Thicker papers generally have higher tear resistance.
• Gloss: Thicker papers can have higher gloss depending on the surface treatment.
• Stiffness: Thicker papers tend to be stiffer.
• Opacity: Thicker papers are generally more opaque.
• Caliper: Caliper is a direct measurement of paper thickness.
• Dimensional Stability: Thicker papers tend to have better dimensional stability.
• Moisture Content: Paper thickness can be affected by moisture content and dimensional changes.
• Basis Weight: Basis weight, along with density, determines the thickness of paper.
• Tensile Strength: Thicker papers tend to have higher tensile strength.
• Air Permeability: Thicker papers have lower air permeability.
• Surface Roughness: Surface roughness can vary with paper thickness depending on the manufacturing process.
• Folding Endurance: Thicker papers generally have better folding endurance.
• Density: Paper density affects the thickness of a given basis weight.
• Printability: Paper thickness affects printability characteristics like ink absorption and show-through.
• Bulk: Bulk is a measure of thickness relative to basis weight.
• Grammage: Grammage, or basis weight per unit area, is related to paper thickness along with density.
• Smoothness: Thicker papers can be smoother or rougher depending on the manufacturing process.
• Brightness: Paper thickness can affect brightness due to light scattering.
