COMMODITY OFFSET PAPERS

  • Commodity Offset Papers are the most economical of the offset types of papers. They are most frequently used for advertising and communications, such as direct mail, bills, reports, magazines.
  • Premium Offset papers are the highest quality offsets.
  • Book Offsets are made to precision thicknesses for bookbinding, but may also be used for other offset projects. Check the OffsetBook list.
  • Some offset papers are made with a higher opacity than commodity offset. For these, go to the Opaque list.
  • Commodity Offset Papers are often bought by converters to make into computer or high volume forms. See the Forms Bond list.
  • Mechanical offsets are made in a process similar to newsprint. They are usually less expensive than papers made in the kraft process.
