Sunshine Paper Supplier in Delhi — Super-White Maplitho

Sunshine is a super-white maplitho — an uncoated woodfree printing paper made bright enough that black text reads with noticeably more contrast than it does on natural-shade offset stock. The trade also writes it SS maplitho or sunshine super. Sigma Enterprises supplies it wholesale from New Delhi to printers, publishers, bill-book manufacturers and stationery converters across Delhi NCR and India. It is specified where the whiteness of the sheet is part of the job: text books and workbooks, question papers, bill books and computer stationery, notebooks, forms and tender work where legibility is judged on sight. Being uncoated it stays writable — it takes a stamp, a ballpoint and a carbon impression without smudging, and it folds and perforates cleanly. Against coated art paper it will not hold photographic halftones as tightly, which is the trade-off for a matte, writable surface. Sunshine grades are made in both sheet and reel form across the usual printing grammages; confirm current stock before planning a run. State gsm, size and quantity.

Common questions

Sunshine Paper — what buyers ask

What is sunshine paper?

Sunshine is the trade name for super-white maplitho — an uncoated woodfree printing paper made bright enough that black text reads with noticeably more contrast than on natural-shade offset stock. It is specified where the whiteness of the sheet is part of the job. Being uncoated it stays writable, taking a ballpoint, a rubber stamp and a carbon impression without smudging.

What is the difference between sunshine and maplitho paper?

Shade, not construction. Both are uncoated woodfree offset paper. Ordinary maplitho is made in a natural shade, which is easier on the eye over long reading and is why it is used for novels and book text. Sunshine is the high-white version of the same family, specified where crisp black-on-white contrast is judged on sight — text books, question papers, forms and stationery.

What is SS maplitho?

SS maplitho is the trade abbreviation for super-white maplitho, the same grade Delhi suppliers also list as sunshine or sunshine super. If a specification, quote or purchase order says SS maplitho, it is asking for high-white uncoated woodfree offset paper. Confirm grammage and sheet size alongside the grade name, since the abbreviation on its own defines neither.

What gsm sunshine paper is used for bill books?

It depends on how many parts the book has. Multi-part bill books with carbon interleaves need a lighter sheet so the impression carries through to the copies beneath; single-part books and receipt pads take a heavier sheet, which stands up better to writing and repeated handling. Tell us the number of parts, the finished size and the run length and we will suggest a grammage.

Can you write on sunshine paper with a pen?

Yes. It is uncoated, so ink is absorbed into the fibre and a ballpoint, gel pen or fountain pen dries almost at once rather than smearing. It also takes a rubber stamp and a carbon impression cleanly, and it folds and perforates without cracking — which is why it is standard for bill books, forms and computer stationery.
