Company Brief

I ' m happy to send you some information about papyrus sheets
The raw material of papyrus paper comes from the plant Cyperus
papyrus. This plant grew along the banks of the Nile and provided the
Egyptians with the necessary raw materials. This plant was quite
versatile and was not only used in the production of paper but it was
also used in the manufacture of boats, rope and baskets. However, the
singularly most important and valuable product was the papyrus paper.
Not only was this ancient Egypt' s greatest export but it
revolutionized the way people kept valuable information. No
substitution for papyrus paper could be found that was as durable and
lightweight until the development of pulped paper by the Arabs. The
way of making pulp paper was far easier to produce but not as durable.
This not only led to a decline in papyrus paper making, but also to a
decline in the papyrus plant cultivation. Eventually, the papyrus
plant disappeared from the area of the Nile, where it was once the
lifeblood for ancient Egypt.
The Method of Papyrus Paper Production
- The stalks of the papyrus plant are harvested.
- Next the green skin of the stalk is removed and the inner pith is
taken out and cut into long strips. The strips are then pounded and
soaked in water for 3 days until pliable.
-The strips are then cut to the length desired and laid horizontally
on a cotton sheet overlapping about 1 millimeter. Other strips are
laid vertically over the horizontal strips resulting in the
criss-cross pattern in papyrus paper. Another cotton sheet is placed
on top.
- The sheet is put in a press and squeezed together, with the cotton
sheets being replaced until all the moisture is removed.
- Finally, all the strips are pressed together forming a single sheet
of papyrus paper.
It is used now in the following purposes:
1- copying the true drawings and writing from the ancient cemcteries
and temples of the Old Egyptians by professionals
2- production of greeting cards , adverts , certificates business cards
, national flags and book marks
3 - It is used as artists materials and in art departments in colleges
and schools for writing and drawing .
4- The stander size is 30Ã — 40Cm and other size 5Ã — 5 to 100Ã — 200 Cm ,
also ther are more than 200 pharaohnic , coptic and islamic pictuers.
I hope to supply your company with any quantities of papyrus.
Best Regards
