Step1 Breaking Down
Add water to the pulp and other materials so the solution becomes evenly mixed. Add water to the pulp and other materials so the solution becomes evenly mixed.
Step2 Beating
Perform the fibrillation of fibers through the process of beating to increase bonding between fibers. Perform the fibrillation of fibers through the process of beating to increase bonding between fibers.
Step3 Webbing
The pulp is then poured from the head box onto circulating copper/plastic wire mesh to be spread and interweaved evenly. The pulp is then poured from the head box onto circulating copper / plastic wire mesh to be spread and interweaved evenly.
Step4 Squeezing
The wet paper will then be removed from the wire mesh to be placed between two rollers with cloth padding. The roller will squeeze the water out from the paper and the cloth will absorb and remove the moisture from the paper further. The paper quality will be improved through squeezing as it will have a better surface texture and be reinforced.

The roller will squeeze the water out from the paper and the cloth will absorb and remove the moisture from the paper further. The paper quality will be improved through squeezing as it will have a better surface texture and be reinforced.
Step5 Drying
Since the wet paper still contains up to 52~70% water content after squeezing, the excess water can no longer be removed through machinery at this stage. Therefore the wet paper is fed through a rolling surface with several vents of hot steam as a means of drying.

Step6 Coating
The paper will go through various machinery for surface processing such as glue application and coating to improve the strength of the paper's surface.

Step7 Drying
After surface processing, more moisture will be present in the paper and therefore it needs to go through a secondary drying process. After surface processing, more moisture will be present in the paper and therefore it needs to go through a secondary drying process.
Step8 Calendaring
The dried bolt of paper will go through a presser comprised of 218 rollers. The pressure between the roller surface and the paper will smooth the paper surface and give the paper a better luster.

Step9 Rolling
The bolts of paper that have gone through folding and other related processes will be rolled up for cutting. The weight, quality and width of the paper will be inspected while it is being rolled up for adjustments to be made.

Step10 Rerolling
The original paper will then be cut into smaller rolls as the end product or further cutting. The original paper will then be cut into smaller rolls as the end product or further cutting.
Step11 Cutting
The small rolls of paper will be cut into sheets of paper through the cutter. The small rolls of paper will be cut into sheets of paper through the cutter.
Step12 Packing
Finally, the sheets of paper will be packed in kraft paper. (Usually in reams of 500 sheets) Finally, the sheets of paper will be packed in kraft paper. (Usually in reams of 500 sheets)
