Newsprint Paper Roll 36 gsm

Uncoated newsprint paper in rolls, weighing 36 g/m² and exceeding 15 cm in width, with over 10% mechanical fibre content. It is used for high-volume printing of newspapers and flyers, and because it does not meet the newsprint definition (e.g., weight below 40 g/m²), it is classified as other graphic paper in rolls under 4802.61.00.
