Plant-based Parchment

The history of parchment can be traced back to the 2nd century BC. At that time, in order to undermine the cultural undertakings of the Pergamon people in Asia Minor, the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt prohibited the export of papyrus to them. This inspired the Pagama people's determination to find substitutes, and thus they began to explore the production of parchment. This kind of parchment, through processes such as impregnation tanning, processing and scraping thinness, stretching and flattening, and anti-corrosion treatment, has become an ideal writing material. Its surface is fine and smooth, with outstanding strength and smooth writing. Despite its high price, it is still favored by people.

Ancient parchment, a writing material with a long history, once gave the Pagama people hope for cultural inheritance in the predicament of the embargo on papyrus. However, with the development of modern industry, the parchment we are familiar with today is no longer a traditional animal leather product, but is carefully crafted from plant fibers. This new type of parchment is tough in texture, compact in structure and has a certain degree of transparency. Its appearance is quite similar to that of ancient parchment, but its performance is quite different. It is precisely such plant parchment that is widely used in our daily life, providing strong support for cultural dissemination and artistic creation.
