Specialty paper refers to a category of papers engineered with unique properties, textures, finishes, or functionalities that distinguish them from standard commodity papers (e.g., offset, coated, or newsprint). Produced in smaller volumes with higher added value, specialty papers incorporate special raw materials (e.g., synthetic fibers, additives), advanced coatings, embossing, metallization, or other treatments to achieve targeted performance or aesthetics.
