What does "colored paper" mean?

Colored paper refers to paper that has been dyed or tinted during the manufacturing process, giving it a uniform color throughout the entire sheet.

Unlike paper that is only printed or coated afterward, the pigment penetrates the paper fibers, so the color is consistent on both sides and remains vibrant even when cut, folded, or shaped.

It comes in a variety of shades, weights, and textures, making it suitable for arts and crafts, stationery, packaging, invitations, educational projects, and professional printing. In heavier weights, it is often called color board or colored cardstock, and in different markets, it may be known as construction paper, sugar paper, or papel de color.

Features of Color Paper/Color Board

Premium Color Creation
Color Paper is produced by blending pigments or dyes directly into the paper pulp during manufacturing. The type, concentration, and quality of these colorants determine the final hue, saturation, and vibrancy. After sheet formation, the paper undergoes precise drying, calendering, and finishing, resulting in a smooth, consistent, and visually striking product.

Exceptional Strength & Durability
With high tensile strength, Color Paper resists tearing, wrinkling, and surface damage, even under frequent handling. This makes it ideal for projects requiring long-lasting quality.

Optimized for Offset Printing
Specially engineered for offset printing, Color Paper offers excellent ink absorption, producing sharp details, vivid color reproduction, and clean edges—perfect for premium printing needs.

FAQ

1. What is the difference between color paper and color board?
Color paper is generally lighter in weight and more flexible, while color board (or colored cardstock) is heavier, thicker, and more rigid. Both are dyed during manufacturing for uniform color throughout.

2. Will the color fade over time?
High-quality color paper and boards are made with fade-resistant dyes, so they keep their vibrancy for a long time under normal indoor conditions. Prolonged direct sunlight exposure may still cause some fading.

3. Can I print on color paper or color board?
Yes. Both can be used with inkjet and laser printers, as well as offset printing presses. For thicker boards, check that your printer supports heavy paper weights.

4. Is colored paper eco-friendly?
Many brands now offer recycled, chlorine-free, or FSC-certified colored paper. Some even produce biodegradable or compostable variants.

5. What sizes and weights are available?
They come in multiple sizes (A4, A3, Letter, custom sizes) and a wide range of grammages (typically 70–300+ gsm), depending on your project needs.

6. What are common uses for color paper and color board?
They are used for arts and crafts, invitations, business cards, product tags, packaging, scrapbooking, posters, and decorative printing.

7. Can it be customized?
Yes. You can easily cut, fold, emboss, foil-stamp, or print on it. Many suppliers also offer custom colors and sizes for bulk orders.
