Mass Production

The demand for paper also created the need for greater efficiency in production. In the late 18th century the labours of Nicholas Luis Robert resulted in the creation of a machine that could produce a seamless length of paper on a endless wire mesh with squeeze rollers at one end. Perfected and marketed by the Fourdrinier brothers, the new machine made papers soon replaced traditional single sheets made by hand.

The Mass Production of Paper

In Europe and America, the mass-production of paper became a thriving industry supplying huge volumes of paper for the production of newspapers, books, magazines, paper bags, toilet paper, money and a huge variety of other purposes - including clothing, chimney's and even coffins! Today, the increasing volume of paper consumption has become a complex environmental matter - and the need for new materials increasingly urgent. While recycling has done some good, much paper is still wasted.

The Future of Paper

Looking Ahead

Owing to the ceaseless imagination of humanity, the words you are reading at this moment are digitally arranged and sent across the world via a new technology - signaling a new revolution in mass communication. As these new technologies develop where does the future of papermaking lay? At HQ PaperMaker we believe it lies in the past, when paper was valued for its innate sensual qualities - an appreciation which deeply respects the materials used, the skill of the artisan and the unique quality of the finished product.

Return to Tradition

In the west, as industrial paper production boomed the art of hand paper-making has been driven nearly to extinction - being practiced only by a few fine artists and crafts people. However, in small areas throughout Asia, the tradition has lived on.

Traditional Papermaking

Incidentally, the traditional Asian paper which is often referred to as "rice paper" is not made from rice fibres at all. More commonly it is made from the versatile mulberry tree - varieties of which are also used for feeding silkworms and in medicine. In contrast to the cold precision and standardisation which industrial production demands, the soft, subtle textures and natural feeling of handmade paper is said to echo the warm heart of the papermaker who makes each sheet with devotion.

Papermaking in Thailand

In Thailand there are records of papermaking going back seven hundred years. Traditional uses of paper have been for Buddhist texts, temple writings and ritual purposes. It used to be that paper was made from the inner bark of the Khoi tree Streblus Asper (L.) Lour. Earlier in the 20th century paper production from Khoi began to die out because of a shortage of Khoi trees. It was not until the Japanese occupied the kingdom during the second world war that paper making again flourished in Thailand. For centuries the Japanese had been making paper called "Kozo" from the inner bark of the mulberry tree Broussonetia Papyrifera (L.) Vent.

In Thailand the mulberry tree - known as "sa" - grew in abundance and the Japanese demand for maps, banknotes and other documents caused sa paper production to flourish. The mulberry tree is still abundant in Thailand - growing wild all over the Northern forest and lowland areas - and Thai artisans continue to produce handmade paper using the same technique that they have done for centuries. Yet, as international demand for these products is increasing, new speciality papers are being developed which incorporate colour dyes, flower petals and other materials into their design.

HQ Group were among the first people in Thailand to produce sa papers incorporating petals and leaves nearly ten years ago and our original paper sheet designs using bougainvillea petals and tamarind leaves, for example, are still hugely popular internationally.
