The boney bunch is posted on 100 lbs. silk paper… but what does that mean?

Silk paper is a luxurious and high-quality paper that has a smooth and silky texture. It is commonly used for printing high-end brochures, flyers, and other marketing materials that require a premium look and feel. In the case of the Boney Bunch it makes all of the colors pop and appear much more vibrant than the Matte and Gloss alternatives. When we talk about the weight of silk paper, it is typically measured in pounds (lbs.). So, what does 100 lbs. silk paper mean? Let’s take a closer look.

Paper weight is measured in pounds, and it refers to the weight of 500 sheets of paper in its basic size. The basic size of paper varies depending on the type of paper, and for silk paper, it is usually 25 x 38 inches. Therefore, if you have 500 sheets of silk paper in the basic size of 25 x 38 inches, and it weighs 100 pounds, it means that each sheet of paper weighs 0.2 pounds or 3.2 ounces.

100 lbs silk paper is a heavy-weight paper, which means that it is thicker and more durable than lighter weight papers. It is ideal for printing high-quality images, graphics, and text that require a premium look and feel. Its thickness and durability also make it resistant to tearing, creasing, and curling, making it a popular choice for marketing materials that need to withstand wear and tear.

The weight of silk paper can affect its performance during printing, so it is important to choose the right weight for your specific printing needs. lighter-weight silk papers, such as 80 lbs. or 90 lbs., are suitable for printing brochures, flyers, and other marketing materials that do not require too much ink coverage. On the other hand, heavier-weight silk papers, such as 100 lbs. or 120 lbs., are ideal for printing high quality images, graphics, and text that require a lot of ink coverage.

In conclusion, 100 lbs. silk paper is a high-quality and heavy-weight paper that is perfect for printing high-end marketing materials that require a premium look and feel. Its thickness and durability make it resistant to tearing, creasing, and curling, making it a popular choice for printing materials that need to withstand wear and tear. When choosing the weight of silk paper for your printing needs, it is important to consider the amount of ink coverage required and to choose the right weight for your specific printing needs.
