How is Custom Composite Paper different from traditional paper?

Ingredients and manufacturing process:
Traditional paper is mainly composed of natural materials such as wood pulp and cellulose, and usually uses plant fiber as the main raw material. Composite Paper uses a wider variety of raw materials, including but not limited to polymer resin, natural cellulose, nanomaterials, etc. These raw materials are specially processed and mixed to form composite materials, giving Composite Paper properties that traditional paper does not have. The manufacturing process of traditional paper usually includes pulp preparation, pulp molding, wet pressing, drying and other steps. The manufacturing process of Composite Paper is more complex

Strength and durability:
Composite Paper uses a composite of multiple raw materials, and its internal structure is stronger, so it has higher tensile strength. In comparison, traditional paper, which is primarily composed of wood pulp or cellulose, has relatively low tensile strength. Because Composite Paper uses a wider variety of raw materials and undergoes special treatments and processing, its tear strength is usually higher. This makes Composite Paper less likely to be torn or damaged during use and has better durability. Traditional paper is often easily deformed or creased when subjected to pressure, while Composite Paper has better resistance to pressure due to its higher strength and solid structure. This makes Composite Paper more reliable in situations where it needs to withstand heavy pressure or prolonged loads. Traditional paper easily loses strength due to moisture, while Composite Paper is generally better waterproof and can maintain better strength and durability even in humid environments. This makes Composite Paper more suitable for outdoor use or situations that require long-term storage.

Water and moisture resistance:
Composite Paper usually improves its waterproof performance through special treatment or adding waterproofing agents. These waterproofing agents can form a protective film on the surface of the paper to prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the paper. In contrast, traditional paper easily absorbs water when exposed to moisture, causing the paper to deform, lose strength, or even break. Composite Paper also has good moisture-proof properties and can maintain good stability even in humid environments. Its special composite materials and processing technology enable it to effectively prevent moisture penetration and absorption. In contrast, traditional paper is susceptible to moisture in humid environments, causing the paper to become soft, deformed and even moldy. Because Composite Paper has good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, it can maintain good stability and durability during long-term use. Traditional paper is prone to deterioration and damage when exposed to moisture or long-term exposure to humid environments, affecting its service life and effectiveness.

Printability:
Composite Paper is generally suitable for a variety of common printing technologies, including inkjet printing, digital printing, screen printing, flexographic printing, etc. These printing technologies can be flexibly applied to the surface of Composite Paper to achieve different printing effects and needs. Traditional papers are also suitable for various printing technologies because their surface texture is more uniform and easily compatible with printing inks or pigments. The surface properties and material composition of Composite Paper may affect the printing effect. Under normal circumstances, the surface texture of Custom Composite Paper is relatively smooth and uniform, which can achieve high-quality printing effects with clear and distinct graphics and text. The printing effect of traditional paper is affected by factors such as fiber structure and surface treatment, and therefore may vary under some specific printing needs. Composite Paper usually has a lower ink absorption rate, which allows the ink to form clearer patterns and text on the surface. This helps improve print quality and save ink usage. Traditional paper has a high ink absorption rate, and the ink may spread on the surface of the paper, affecting the printing effect and detail clarity. Since Composite Paper usually has better water resistance and abrasion resistance, the graphics and text printed on its surface are also more durable and long-lasting. This makes Composite Paper suitable for prints that require long-term storage or are exposed to harsh environments.

Environmental protection:
Composite Paper is typically made from recyclable materials and produces fewer pollutants during the production process. In contrast, the production of traditional paper may involve large amounts of wood felling and chemical processing, causing a greater impact on the environment.

Feature:
Because Composite Paper can achieve different functions by adjusting its material composition and production process, it has a wider range of applications. For example, special functional materials can be added to achieve fire protection, antistatic, antibacterial and other properties to meet the needs of different fields.

Price & Availability:
Because Composite Paper uses a wider variety of raw materials and the manufacturing process is more complex, its price may be slightly higher than traditional paper. In addition, because the production process is relatively new, the current supply of Composite Paper may be relatively small, but with the advancement of technology and market demand, its availability may gradually increase.
