ELEVATE YOUR BRAND

Gmund - It’s all about fibers

The character of a paper is determined by its fibers. They influence its feel, appearance, and quality. At Gmund Paper, we use sustainable, innovative plant fibers. This is reflected in our collections. They showcase the diversity of these approaches: Gmund Cotton, made from 100% cotton fibers, Gmund Hemp, with its globally unique 100% hemp paper, Gmund Manteco, which follows the zero waste principle and is also made from 100% cotton, etc.

Each Gmund collection represents innovation, sustainability, and modern paper production, providing ecological and creative opportunities for your brand’s unique identity.

PAPYRUS-Smarter ways for better days

Graphical Paper & Board: Discover the multifarious Papyrus assortment of Graphical Paper & Board

The process you need is the one that gets you on the same page. We are the paper providers for a post-digital world, supporting people and industries with seamless solutions. Operating in 16 countries, we supply you with the tools, materials and knowhow to deliver smarter ways for better days.

Our story begins in 1895 when the Swedish Wallenberg dynasty purchased a paper mill in Mölndal on Sweden’s west coast and named it Papyrus, the root of the word ‘paper’, with an etymology that traces back to ancient Egypt and the dawn of civilization. Even then, the mill—which had been in operation since 1653—was considered the most technically advanced paper mill in Sweden.

A holdover of moments that matter."

Thibierge & Comar - Cromatico colors

Cromático,- ca.® is a wood-free, transparent, coloured finest paper, just as popular today as 18 years after its creation. From extra white over brilliant yellow to deep black, Cromático,- ca.® is ideal for transparency effects and colour overlays.

"Transparency and colour are indissociable. Water is transparent and yet the sea is blue, turquoise or green. The air is transparent and yet the sky is blue, grey or orange and red. Translucent or diaphanous, Cromático, -ca.® plays marvellously with see-through or layered effects, suggesting without showing, opening up an infinite third dimension for the imagination to explore.”

Glossary

B

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.

Bending stiffness

After grammage and thickness, stiffness is the next most important property that a paperboard specifier usually considers when choosing paperboard. Solid Bleached Board (SBB) offers excellent stiffness and strength characteristics per unit grammage of material. In contrast, because of their high bulk characteristics, Folding Box Board (FBB) products are able to offer very high levels of stiffness in relation to grammage. As primary fibre products, both SBB and FBB, offer excellent consistency and reproducibility. They have distinct advantages when compared to high density recycled materials which cannot offer the advantage of 100 % primary fibre contents, or high bulk characteristics, and thus give a low return on stiffness per unit grammage.

C

Card

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.

E

Embossed paper

Paper characterised by surface patterns or marks in relief, created by passing the support between a steel cylinder, with the engraved mark, and a cylinder in soft material. The patterns may vary substantially, and at times may even resemble the surface of other materials (canvas, wood, etc.). Embossing is performed dry, after the paper production process, using an embossing machine. The surface textures may be present only on one side (single embossed paper) or on both sides.

F

FSC certification

Certification issued by the Forest Stewardship Council. It ensures that the production process of a material upholds FSC standards for raw materials, that they originate from forests that are correctly managed from environmental, social and economic points of view.

G

Grain direction

Alignment of the grain of the paper, so that in the production stage it is oriented in the running direction of the paper machine. The grain direction affects the quality of various printing and finishing operations, so it is important to check it before printing production. In most papers, the grain is oriented in parallel to the long side of the sheet. The second figure defining the measurements of a sheet indicates the side parallel to the grain direction. For example, the grain in a 64×88 cm sheet is parallel to the long side, while in an 88×64 cm sheet it is parallel to the short side.

Grammage

The weight of the paper expressed in grammes per square metre. Grammage is used to distinguish between paper (40-150 g/m²), card (between 170 and 600 g/m²) and board (higher grammages).

Greaseproof (or resistant to grease)

Protective treatment inserted during the manufacturing of paper, useful in the case of objects that need to be handled a lot, such as labels, packaging and menus.

K

Kraft cellulose/pulp

Pulp produced through a chemical process, whereby a more resistant pulp can be obtained from wood compared to other processes.

O

Opacity

A physical feature of the paper that indicates how far it is able to not show texts and images printed on the opposite side. The opacity is related to the chemical composition of the paper and its thickness increases with the grammage.

P

Printability

It indicates the possibility of obtaining a good print reproduction of an image on a given substrate, and is influenced by factors such as surface smoothness, absorbency and opacity.

R

Recycled paper

Paper manufactured by re-using post-consumer waste, that is paper already previously printed and used. The percentage of recycled material may vary and virgin cellulose may be added to improve printability and whiteness. Recycled paper can be bleached through a chemical process known as de-inking.

T

Thickness 

The most critical factor; doubling the thickness increases bending stiffness by a factor of eight

U

Uncoated paper

The term used for papers which have not undergone particular surface treatments to distinguish them from coated, felt-marked, embossed and other such papers.

W

Wet strength (or wet-strength) 

A characteristic of certain papers that prevents disintegration when wet. It is essential for label papers, when the product may be immersed in water (for example, bottles of white or sparkling wine). To achieve this particular feature, small amounts of specific resins or polymers are added to the paper during the production stage.

Whiteness

Indicates a paper’s ability to reflect light and indirectly express its degree of brightness. High whiteness allows chromatically faithful reproduction of the original images. Low whiteness, on the other hand, is more appropriate for printing texts, since the lower reflection of light avoids reading fatigue. Various methods are available for controlling the whiteness of paper; the most common are ISO 2470 and CIE Whiteness (ISO 11475:2004).
