Lightweight coated paper (LWC) is essentially a thin paper made from ground spruce pulpwood, reinforced with a small proportion of kraft pulp to add strength.


LWC paper is used for magazines, catalogues and advertising material in long printing runs where excellent printing quality and image reproduction is required.

LWC paper is essentially a thin paper made from ground spruce pulpwood, reinforced with a small proportion of kraft pulp to add strength. The resulting paper is then covered with coating in which the most important constituent is fine-grained clay. The result is a printing paper with extremely good printing properties, particularly with regard to image reproduction.

SCA has been producing LWC paper at Ortviken paper mill since the early 1990s.
