Before paper reaches international customers, multiple characteristics can be evaluated during production and final inspection. These may include basis weight, thickness, moisture, brightness, opacity, smoothness, dimensions and printing performance.
Proper moisture control is especially important because excessive or uneven moisture can affect paper feeding, curling and printing performance.
Dimensional accuracy is also essential. A4 paper must maintain consistent sheet dimensions so that printers and copiers can feed the paper smoothly.
Packaging inspection is another important step for export products. Reams and cartons should be checked for quantity, sealing, labeling and overall appearance before shipment.
A professional quality-control system therefore covers the entire process—from raw materials and production to finished products and export packaging.
