Art Card is a high-quality coated processing cardboard, which can be easily understood as "thickened and hardened" art paper. It is widely used in printed materials with higher requirements for hardness and stiffness. The conventional weight ranges from 230gsm, 250gsm, 270gsm, etc., to commonly used sizes such as 700 * 1000mm, 787*1092mm, 889*1194mm, etc. Art Card belongs to a type of "cardboard", which is a product of white cardboard processed through coating technology. Compared to regular art paper, it is thicker, firmer, and has a higher weight (basis weight). Common Art Card have a multi-layer structure (such as three or five layers), which gives them excellent stiffness and strength.

Raw materials and processes

The manufacturing of Art Card is a precise process:

Core raw materials: Its paper base (raw paper) is mostly made of imported high-quality wood pulp. The surface coating is made by mixing white pigments such as kaolin and calcium carbonate with adhesives.

Key processes:

Multi layer copying: Modern production lines use special equipment to fuse multiple layers (such as five layers) of fiber webs together to form a sturdy cardboard substrate.

Precision coating: Apply white coating evenly on one side (single-sided Art Card) or both sides (double-sided Art Card) of the paper substrate.

Super calendering: The coated paper is treated with a super calendering machine to achieve extremely high smoothness and glossiness on the surface.

Core Features

The excellent performance of copper cardboard makes it highly favored in the fields of printing and packaging

High smoothness and glossiness: The paper surface is smooth and flat, with good glossiness, and can present bright and full printing colors.

High whiteness: The paint has a high whiteness (usually above 90%), and the printed image is clear and bright.

High stiffness and folding resistance: The paper is stiff and has good folding resistance, suitable for packaging and cards that need to maintain their shape.

Excellent printing adaptability: uniform and fast ink absorption, suitable for high-precision offset printing, gravure printing and other processes.

Good light shielding: The multi-layer structure gives it excellent light shielding and non transparency.

Main Purpose

With its excellent texture,Art Card is often used to make various high-end products:

Commercial printing: high-end business cards, invitations, postcards, desk calendars, wall calendars, etc.

Packaging products: high-end cosmetics boxes, medicine boxes, clothing tags, handbags, etc.

Cultural and entertainment: high-end picture books, book and magazine covers, game cards, playing cards, etc.

Overall, Art Card is a printing and packaging material that combines exquisite appearance and excellent physical properties, playing an important role in fields that require high-quality display.
