Newsprint paper is a type of low-cost, uncoated paper that is primarily used for printing newspapers, as well as other publications such as flyers, brochures, and catalogues. It is typically made from groundwood pulp, which is produced by mechanically grinding wood into a pulp. This type of paper is known for its high absorbency, which allows for fast drying of ink, and its ability to hold large quantities of ink, making it ideal for printing large volumes of text and images. Newsprint paper is usually produced in large rolls and is available in a range of different sizes and weights, depending on the specific needs of the publisher. It is typically a light-weight paper, with a weight range of 30 to 50 grams per square meter, and has a slightly rough texture due to the use of groundwood pulp. The paper is usually off-white or gray in color, although it can also be bleached to produce a brighter white color. Despite being primarily used for printing newspapers, newsprint paper has a variety of other applications. It is often used for packaging, such as wrapping paper and filler material, and can also be used for arts and crafts projects. Additionally, it is sometimes used as a low-cost alternative to other types of paper for printing books, magazines, and other publications.
