A term that refers to the quality category of a paper stock determined by the method of manufacturing and by the contents of the paper, which provide the various surface characteristics. Grade classifications range from Premium, which is the highest level, to #5, which is the lowest level. Some text and cover stocks are listed simply as A or B grades since fewer grades of text and cover stock are produced. Paper grade also refers to the specific type of paper, such as coated, uncoated, bond, or index. Digital paper grades may include laser, ink-jet, or multipurpose papers.
