Bible Paper Introduction

Bible Paper is a lightweight, high-opacity printing paper specially developed for books with a high page count. Unlike regular printing paper, it combines thinness with strength, allowing publishers to produce compact, portable volumes without sacrificing durability or print clarity.

This paper is typically manufactured in the range of 28–45gsm, offering excellent printability, smooth texture, and reduced show-through. It is widely chosen for Bibles, dictionaries, hymnals, encyclopedias, and other reference works that require both readability and long-lasting quality.

With options in different shades such as natural white and cream, Bible Paper ensures a comfortable reading experience while meeting the strict demands of professional publishing.
