Used for packaging objects which need protection during transportation. Cartridge paper / Photocopy paper is used for design drawings, sketches and good quality marker pen presentations. The surface is good for pencils, pens and markers, and is soft enough to be used for crayons, pastels, colors and inks. Layout paper (Detail paper) is a thin, fairly transparent white paper which provides a cheap medium for designers to visualize an object or design. Use in preparation of final designs to trace images. Bleed Proof paper has similar qualities to cartridge paper but is good at isolating water based paints and pens so they don't run into areas where you don't want them. Used in high quality presentations. Cardboard is a cheap, recyclable and stiff board with a good surface to print onto. Used for packaging, boxes and cartons. White board is good for packaging and book covers. It is strong, and the surface has been bleached to allow for printing. Duplex Board is used mainly in food packaging, as recycled materials cannot be used for this purpose. It is also less expensive than white board, and provides a different texture for printing. Grey Board is used in schools for model making and for book making. The surface is stiff and reliable.

    An association of paper historians based in Britain has estimated that there are 20,000 identifiable uses of paper in the world today. One traditional papermaker, P.H. Glatfelter Co. of Pennsylvania, redefined itself 15 years ago by concentrating its efforts on niche markets. Today it makes, by its own reckoning, paper for 1,000 different commercial products, including U.S. postage stamps, Twinings tea bags, Hallmark greeting cards, Bicycle playing cards, Band-Aid bandage components, Carlsberg and Heineken beer labels, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cup wrappers.…
