paper rigidity

**paper rigidity**

Paper rigidity refers to the stiffness and resistance of paper to bending or folding. It is an important physical property that affects the handling, printing quality, packaging strength, and overall durability of paper products. Higher rigidity typically means the paper maintains its shape better under stress, making it ideal for applications requiring structural integrity, such as business cards, packaging materials, and book covers. Understanding paper rigidity helps manufacturers and designers choose the right type of paper for specific uses, balancing flexibility with strength.
