Domestic light paper market

At that time, the domestic printing and publishing industry was blindly pursuing paper, while the soft and natural light paper was not recognized. Lightweight paper from countries such as Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland entered the Chinese market for some time. Some papermaking companies in Shandong Province in China began to copy the paper. At the time, lightweight paper was generally sold only on specialty papers. The customers faced were only advertising and design. The company has little market consumption. Lightweight paper is widely used in book printing is only two or three years of things. Now when the publisher makes a new book recommendation, he must also state that he is printing on light paper.

From 1995 to now, imported light-weight paper brands have become stable in the domestic market and domestic paper-making enterprises that produce light-weight papers have gradually matured in technology and production, and have started to establish their own brands and develop domestic and foreign market-oriented

Compared to the old-fashioned foreign light paper manufacturers, domestic papermaking enterprises are still very weak in production. At present, China's light paper still belongs to the early stage of development. There are still many gaps between product quality and imported paper. At this stage, the price of domestic light paper is generally between 6500 and 7500 yuan / ton, while the paper imported from the Netherlands, Finland, Japan and other places, the basic price between 8500 ~ 9500 yuan.

More and more publishers use light paper, which reflects the spirit of humanism that truly puts readers' needs first. It can be said that the "lightness" of China's publishing industry has only just begun. With the development of technology and the smooth flow of import and export channels, the book will become lighter and lighter.
