Paper is categorized by the pulping process - chemical or mechanical - used to convert wood into fiber.

Freesheet paper, coated or uncoated, is made from the chemical process that breaks apart the fibers and dissolves impurities. It is "free" of groundwood or mechanical pulp. By definition, freesheet papers can contain no more than 10% mechanical pulp, and most contain none. It is bleached in a four to six stage process that results in a bright, white, high-quality paper used primarily in high-end corporate communications such as annual reports, brochures, advertising inserts and catalogs.

Groundwood paper, coated or uncoated, is made from a mechanical process that incorporates one stage of bleaching. The result is less brightness and a bit more yellow color to the paper. It contains 30 - 75% groundwood pulp and is primarily used in magazines, newspaper inserts and catalogs - applications that have a short shelf-life.

Blended paper utilizes a combination (or blend) of freesheet and groundwood pulp. It offers some of the higher-quality attributes of freesheet paper and the cost savings of groundwood. It can be coated or uncoated and is usually used for magazines and catalogs.
