Lightweight Coated Papers are the mechanical papers coated with clay or similar
substance and are used for printing. It is widely coated with glossy or matte finish.
Lightweight coated papers are primarily used for magazines, catalogues, direct mails,
flyers and many more. These papers are smooth and shiny which absorbs less ink on
the paper. Global lightweight papers market has been segmented by finish, by
application and by geography.
Coated paper is often used for printing purposes as it offers sharp and complex
images. Currently, publishers are switching towards high-end products (including
coated paper) as a substitute for newsprint paper. Thus, demand for coated paper is
anticipated to increase in the near future. Recycling of coated paper is a difficult
process as compared to that of plain paper. The recycling process includes separation
of coating materials from the recovered paper to obtain paper pulp that can further
be processed to make paper.
