Introducing Light Weight Coated Paper (LWC): A Versatile Choice for High-Quality Printing

Introduction

Light Weight Coated Paper (LWC) is the go-to choice when you need high-quality print results without adding weight or bulk. Designed with a thin coating of clay or minerals on both sides, LWC paper offers a smooth, glossy surface that enhances color vibrancy and print sharpness—all while keeping the weight low.

Ranging from 52 gsm to 80 gsm, LWC paper is significantly lighter than traditional coated paper, making it ideal for mass printing projects. At China Paper, we offer premium LWC paper engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern printing.

What Is LWC Paper Used For?

LWC paper is widely used across industries where quality, volume, and cost-efficiency intersect. Its lightweight nature helps reduce shipping and handling costs, while the coated finish ensures professional image clarity and text definition.
