Copy paper is an indispensable part of both the office and the home office. Whether you are printing reports, invoices or creative projects, the quality of the paper has a major impact on the result. The choice between light and heavy grades is not only about thickness, but also about appearance, durability and functionality. In this article, you will get an overview of the most important considerations when choosing copy paper, as well as a presentation of different types and brands that may suit your needs.

The article presents a wide range of copy paper in different weight classes and qualities. The goal is to provide an informative overview of properties, areas of use and price levels, so that you can more easily choose the paper that best suits your printing tasks. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and practical overview.

Factors to consider when buying copy paper

When choosing copy paper, you should take into account the paper’s weight, surface, whiteness and environmental certification. These factors affect both appearance, function and sustainability.

1. Paper weight and thickness

Paper weight is measured in grams per square metre (g/m²). Standard paper for everyday use is usually 80 g/m², while heavier grades of 100–120 g/m² give a more exclusive look and feel more solid. Lighter paper of 70 g/m² can be advantageous if you print large quantities and want to save space and weight.

2. Surface and texture

A smooth surface provides sharper prints, especially for colour printing and graphics. Matte paper, on the other hand, is well suited for text-heavy documents, as it reduces glare and makes reading more comfortable. Some papers have a slightly textured surface that can give a more professional or creative appearance.

3. Whiteness and colour reproduction

The whiteness of the paper affects how colours and contrasts appear. A white paper with high light reflection (measured in CIE value) gives clear colours and sharp text, while a more natural, cream-coloured paper can appear softer and more comfortable for the eyes.

4. Environmental labelling and sustainability

Choose copy paper with environmental certifications such as FSC®, PEFC™ or the EU Ecolabel. These labels guarantee that the paper is produced responsibly and with regard to forestry and environmental impact. Recycled paper is also a good choice, especially for internal use and draft printing.

5. Printer compatibility

Not all paper types work equally well in all printers. Make sure the paper is suitable for your printer type – laser or inkjet – as the wrong paper can affect print quality and, in the worst case, cause paper jams.

Different types of copy paper

Copy paper comes in many varieties that differ in weight, surface and purpose. Here are some of the most common types.

1. Standard paper

Standard paper of 80 g/m² is the most commonly used choice for everyday use. It is suitable for both black and white and colour printing and works well in most printers and copiers. It is economical and versatile.

2. Premium paper

Premium paper has a higher weight and a smoother surface that gives a more professional appearance. It is often used for presentations, reports and marketing materials, where appearance plays an important role.

3. Recycled paper

Recycled paper is made from recovered fibres and is an environmentally friendly alternative. The quality is now so high that it often matches new paper, both in print quality and durability.

4. Coloured copy paper

Coloured paper is used to attract attention or to organise documents. It comes in many shades and can be useful for notices, brochures or internal documents that need to stand out.

5. Special paper

Special paper includes, for example, extra thick paper, glossy paper for photo printing or perforated paper for forms. These types are developed for specific purposes and often require printer setting adjustments.

Different brands of copy paper

The market for copy paper includes many manufacturers, each with their own focus areas and qualities.

Frequently asked questions

What does g/m² mean on copy paper?

g/m² indicates the paper’s weight per square metre and is used as a measure of thickness and quality. The higher the number, the thicker and more robust the paper.

Can I use the same paper for both laser and inkjet printers?

Some papers work for both printer types, but the best results are achieved by choosing paper specifically designed for your printer type. Inkjet paper absorbs ink, while laser paper withstands the heat from the toner.

How should I store copy paper correctly?

Paper should be stored dry and at room temperature. Avoid moisture and large temperature fluctuations, as this can cause the paper to curl or create feeding problems in the printer.

Is recycled paper as good as new paper?

Yes, modern recycled paper often has the same quality as new paper. However, it may have a slightly darker tone, which can affect colour printing a little, but it is perfect for everyday use.

What paper weight should I choose for presentations?

For presentations and documents that should appear exclusive, paper of 100–120 g/m² is recommended. It feels more solid and gives a professional impression.
