When it comes to handmade paper craft materials, there may be a type of paper that is familiar to everyone and is often used, and that is tissue paper. Tissue paper is a thin, yet very hard, clear paper that is used and involved in many handicrafts. However, tissue paper itself will also be used in other fields, such as packaging.

Honeycomb tissue paper is a paper that is folded like an accordion and is mainly used by people for decoration or embellishment. Acid-free tissue paper is mainly used as antiseptic.
The tissue paper used in handmade paper crafts usually comes in white and other beautiful colors. Some people think that it will be pink or metallic because of the special effect.

All paper will have two common measurement standards, one is thickness, and the other is weight. But people don't seem to like these two measurement standards very much. This is because even for the same type of paper, the thickness will vary, and the weight itself is a very complicated thing. Here we give the weight value of a tissue paper in accordance with the regulations of the International Organization for Standardization of the Paper Industry: 10-35gsm, that is, the weight per square meter is 10 to 35g.
