Whether you are a commercial book printer, academic publisher, educational institution, or self-publisher, Brotherhood Paper supplies the right grades for every publishing application.

Our books and publishing range covers lightweight text grades for novels and educational books, through to heavier quality grades for premium publications and reference materials.

Paper Grades for Book Printing

2. 70 GSM Woodfree Uncoated — Slightly heavier for better feel and reduced show-through. Popular for school and university textbooks.
3. 80 GSM Woodfree Uncoated — Premium book grade with excellent bulk, ideal for academic and reference publications.

5. 105–128 GSM Art Paper — Coated grades for heavily illustrated books, children’s publications, and catalogues.

Key Paper Properties for Publishing

1. Opacity — Critical for double-sided printing. Higher opacity means less show-through between pages.
2. Bulk — Thicker-feeling sheets make books feel more substantial without adding excessive weight.
3. Brightness — Affects readability and image reproduction quality.
4. Smoothness — Impacts ink spread and text sharpness on offset presses.
5. Grain Direction — Must align with the book’s spine for proper page-turning and binding.
