Bible paper, also known as dictionary paper, is a premium thin-page paper engineered for publications demanding exceptional page capacity and portability.

Product Features
- Exceptional Ultra-Thin High-Strength Properties：Bofeng Bible Paper achieves outstanding physical strength despite its extremely low basis weight (typically 28-40gsm). Its tightly structured fibers and high tear resistance ensure durability during high-speed printing and complex post-press binding processes, withstanding repeated handling.
- Superior Opacity Despite its extreme thinness, specialized filler technology and fiber blending significantly enhance opacity. This minimizes show-through between printed sides, guaranteeing clarity and reading comfort for double-sided printing.
- Outstanding Printability
- High Smoothness: The surface undergoes precise finishing for exceptional smoothness, ensuring sharp, crisp text reproduction. Even the smallest font sizes exhibit no blurred strokes or broken lines.
- Controlled Ink Absorption: Special sizing treatment achieves optimal ink absorption, enabling rapid drying and secure adhesion. This prevents smudging and makes the paper suitable for both high-speed rotary and sheet-fed printing.
- Flexible Durability and Extended Lifespan：The paper exhibits excellent fold resistance and flexibility, resisting breakage during repeated opening and closing. Utilizing neutral sizing technology, the paper maintains a neutral or slightly alkaline pH, delivering superior durability and aging resistance—ideal for long-term preservation of valuable books.
- Environmentally Friendly & Lightweight Using Bible paper significantly reduces book thickness and weight, saving storage and transportation costs while aligning with the lightweight trend in green publishing. The product meets environmental standards, with select series offering FSC certification.
