LWC and HWC Duplex Boards

Understanding Light Weight vs. High Weight Coated Duplex

Our expertise in paper coating technology allows us to provide distinct solutions for different industrial applications. Light weight coated duplex (LWC) is manufactured by applying a thin layer of fine pigment to the paper web. This process creates a smooth surface ideal for high-volume web offset printing, making it highly economical while still offering a vibrant color reproduction. It is the go-to choice for lightweight consumer cartons and publication inserts.

Conversely, our high weight coated duplex (HWC) undergoes a double or triple coating process. This results in an exceptionally smooth, ultra-glossy surface that completely masks the underlying base paper. HWC is categorized as a premium duplex paper, designed specifically for luxury packaging where photo-realistic print quality and superior ink holdout are absolute necessities.

Advantages of Shreelaxmi LWC / HWC Boards
