Bible Paper
One problem, solved completely: fit a very large number of pages into a book someone can still hold.
What it is.
Everything about bible paper follows from page count. At 28 to 45 g/m² the sheet is thinner than most people have handled, and at that weight three things fight each other. It has to stay opaque enough that the reverse side does not read through. It has to keep enough strength to survive being turned thousands of times by dry fingers. And it has to fold at the spine without cracking.
Those three — opacity, tear strength and folding endurance — are the parameters agreed before the run, and they are agreed together, because pushing any one of them moves the other two.
It is not only used for bibles. Dictionaries, reference works and pharmaceutical inserts have the same problem and buy the same grade.
Typical applications
- Bibles and reference books
- Dictionaries
- Pharmaceutical inserts and leaflets
- High-page-count print
