Board
Rigid paper with a grammage of over 450 g/m².
Bulky paper
Paper having a higher than average thickness at par grammage. It can be used to increase the bulk of a publication with few pages. It is less transparent than papers of the same grammage and normal thickness. The apparent specific volume is the ratio between the thickness, measured with a micrometer, and grammage of a sheet of paper. For example, Acquarello paper 160 g/m² is 232 microns thic and consequently has an apparent specific volume of 1.45.
C

Paper with a grammage between 220 and 450 g/m².
Cast-coated paper
Coated paper with a particularly smooth and shiny finish. To achieve this result, the coating is applied to the stock using a chrome- plated metallic cylinder with an extremely smooth surface, heated from the inside. Cast-coated cards are often used in the packaging field.
Cellulose (or pulp)
A fibrous substance of vegetal origin and the main ingredient of paper. It can be obtained from trees and plants using various extraction and processing systems. Papers are usually made up of a blend of different pulps.
Coated paper
Paper with a coated surface layer, with a different composition depending on the required finish. Thanks to its smooth and low-absorbent surface, coated paper offers a better printing performance than uncoated paper. Available finishes include gloss, satin or matt, and versions can be coated on both sides or only one.
