What Is Bond Paper?
Simply put, Bond Paper is most often the regular lightweight paper we see around the office and homes. Many users prefer bond papers due to their versatility and durability. They are made up of robust material that gives them a longer life.
So, if you print anything in your office, there's a good chance that your business uses some type of bond paper already. This strong yet light type of paper works well with both laser and inkjet printers and can also be a good choice for handwritten documents. You can find this versatile paper useful for printing common business documents like letterheads, forms, invoices and reports. When purchasing this paper, you can find it in various weights, colours and styles to fit your needs. It is easy to watermark bond paper for business purposes. It is common to receive invoices in the mail printed on bond paper.
The name comes from its use as a paper for legal and government documents such as government bonds. Today, almost every copier and printer today uses bond paper.
Sometimes confused with basic copier paper, bond paper comes in heavier weights and is made of cotton rag fiber to give it more strength. While Bond Paper is traditionally regarded as strong and durable, it isn't necessarily thick. The most common weights are 60 g/m2 , 75 g/m2 and 90 g/m2. In terms of copy paper weight, 80gsm is usually what you think of as 'normal,' 60gsm is a thinner sheet, and 120gsm is a heavier one. The higher the number, the heavier and thicker the sheet of paper.
A paper's brightness is determined by its ability to reflect a specific wavelength of blue light. Paper brightness is measured on a scale of 0 to 100 - the higher the number, the brighter the paper. Therefore, 95 bright paper appears brighter than 85 bright paper because it reflects more light.
What makes bond paper different from normal copy paper?
In many cases, nothing. There is no universal definition of what a bond is. This word is often used for marketing purposes, so an exact definition is difficult to determine. There are many stocks sold as bonds that are just basic copy papers.
Bond paper's main advantages include its versatility, strength and affordable cost. Your office can use this paper for most daily printing and writing needs and can save money by not using more expensive paper like cardstock. The paper can withstand typical daily use, and it tends to have good aesthetics that make the ink easily readable while providing good contrast.
