Key Characteristics of Bible Paper:
-
Thinness: Bible paper is exceptionally thin, often measuring around 25–40 gsm (grams per square meter). This allows for a high page count without adding significant bulk to the book.
-
Opacity: Despite its thinness, the paper is designed to be opaque, minimizing show-through of text or images from the other side of the page.
-
Durability: It is strong and resistant to tearing, even though it is lightweight. This makes it suitable for frequent handling and long-term use.
-
Smooth Texture: The paper has a smooth surface, which enhances the readability of fine print and allows for high-quality printing of text and illustrations.
-
Acid-Free: Many modern Bible papers are acid-free, ensuring longevity and resistance to yellowing or deterioration over time.
Uses of Bible Paper:
-
Religious Texts: Primarily used for printing Bibles, Qurans, and other sacred texts.
-
Reference Books: Ideal for dictionaries, thesauruses, and encyclopedias due to its ability to reduce bulk.
