White Plain Acid-Free Tissue Paper: Archival Protection & Retail Interleaving
In luxury retail, archival preservation, museum curation, jewellery manufacture, and bridal fashion, plain white acid-free tissue paper represents the international benchmark for non-destructive surface protection. Standard commercial papers contain residual wood lignins and processing acids that gradually hydrolyse, releasing acidic compounds that tarnish silver, yellow fine fabrics, and degrade delicate leathers. Our pure bleached sulphite acid-free tissue paper is chemically buffered to provide an inert, non-abrasive, and non-tarnishing protective barrier. Below, our technical converting team outlines the chemistry and commercial applications of archival white tissue paper.
01
Chemical Buffering & Archival Neutrality
Engineered to ISO 9706 archival standards for total chemical neutrality:
- Neutral pH 7.5 to 8.0: Buffered with calcium carbonate to actively neutralise ambient atmospheric acids, preventing yellowing and brittleness over decades.
- Lignin-Free Virgin Pulp: Complete chemical extraction of lignins ensures zero photochemical degradation or gas release during dark storage.
- Zero Sulphur & Chlorine Residue: Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) bleaching eliminates reactive sulphur compounds that cause rapid black tarnish on silver jewellery.
- Non-Tarnish Certified: Complies with British museum and conservation standards for wrapping precious metals, antique lace, and historic documents.
02
Caliper: 17gsm Machine Glazed (MG)
The ideal featherweight grammage for soft cushioning and delicate folding:
- 17gsm Featherweight Density: Exceptional pliability allows paper to drape effortlessly around intricate shapes, pleated garments, and delicate glassware.
- Glazed Surface Finish: Ultra-smooth face prevents micro-scratches on polished gemstones, fine optical lenses, and glossy acrylic display pieces.
- Acoustic Crispness: Produces a crisp, delicate rustle that communicates premium luxury unboxing without stiffness.
- Translucent Reveal: Subtle semi-transparency allows the silhouette of the wrapped luxury item to be visible, building customer anticipation.
03
Diverse Industry Applications
Where pure unprinted acid-free tissue is the essential commercial choice:
- Bridal & Couture Fashion: Interleaving wedding gowns, delicate veils, and couture silks to prevent fabric creases and fibre transfer.
- Jewellery & Silversmiths: Packing sterling silver tableware, cufflinks, watches, and fine jewellery without risk of surface tarnish.
- Footwear & Leather Goods: Stuffing shoe toes and wrapping leather handbags to preserve shape and absorb humidity without drying out natural oils.
- Fine Art & Printmaking: Slip-sheeting between delicate etching prints, watercolours, and photographic prints to prevent ink abrasion.
04
Bulk Packaging & Warehouse Dispatch
Convenient commercial reams ready for high-volume fulfillment:
- Standard 500-Sheet Reams: Full count accuracy packed in protective kraft wrapping to prevent edge damage and stockroom humidity absorption.

Clear Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers on sizing, minimum order runs, artwork proofs, board calipers, and free tracked UK delivery.
What does 'acid-free' mean, and why is it crucial for wrapping clothes and jewellery?
Acid-free paper is manufactured using wood pulp that has had acidic lignins chemically removed, resulting in a neutral pH of 7.0 or slightly alkaline (buffered to pH 7.5–8.0). Standard acidic papers degrade over time and release acidic gases that react with textiles (causing white clothes to turn yellow and brittle) and metals (causing sterling silver, brass, and copper to turn black with tarnish). Acid-free paper guarantees total preservation.
Can this tissue paper be used for wrapping sterling silver without tarnishing?
Yes, absolutely. Our white acid-free tissue paper is 100% sulphur-free and non-tarnishing, making it the approved standard for jewellers, silversmiths, watchmakers, and antique dealers worldwide.
What is the standard ream size and sheet count?
Our commercial white acid-free tissue is supplied in reams of exactly 500 sheets. The most popular dimensions are 500 x 750mm (the UK retail clothing standard) and 450 x 700mm. Each ream is wrapped in heavy kraft protective paper to keep sheets clean and flat.
Can this tissue paper be used for archival storage of wedding dresses?
Yes! It is the exact grade recommended by bridal curators and museum conservators for heirloom wedding gowns, christening robes, and historical costumes. When stuffed into sleeves and folded between fabric layers, it prevents permanent creases and prevents oxidation of silk and lace.
Is your plain white tissue paper biodegradable and recyclable?
Yes, 100%. Our tissue paper is made from pure FSC-certified virgin cellulose fibres without synthetic plastic coatings. It is 100% recyclable in domestic kerbside paper bins and will naturally biodegrade in home compost within 30 to 60 days.
What is the minimum order quantity for plain white acid-free tissue?
We supply plain white acid-free tissue starting from a single 500-sheet ream up to full pallet loads (50 to 100 reams) with trade bulk discounts and next-day UK mainland delivery.
