To impart a smooth finish on paper by passing the web of paper between polished metal rolls to increase gloss and smoothness.

The process of finishing a sheet of dry paper by pressing it between a set of chilled metal rollers, generally at the end of a papermaking machine. The paper passes through these rollers to increase t [..]

Taking the fused mass of vinyl from the mixer and placing it onto two, hot, large rotating rolls and allowing the mass to be squeezed into a thin sheet; similar to a dough roller.

process of passing cloth under high heat or pressure to produce a surface texture.

The process of passing paper through an assembly of rolls that have polished surfaces. The rolls compact and smooth the paper, increasing the sheet’s gloss and smoothness.

Calendering is a process used to form (predominantly thick) films out of Plastics such as PVC or PE, rubber, metal and paper. A calender is a system comprising several heated and polished rollers made [..]

The process giving paper a smooth finish by running the paper through smooth cylinders during the manufacturing process. Calendered paper comes in several finishes. At its calendered, paper using this process resembles coated paper in texture.

The process of smoothing the surface of the paper by pressing it between rollers. Uncalendered papers — those not made smooth by calendering — have a less smooth texture.

A process that takes place at the end of the papermaking machine. The paper is passed through a stack of steel rollers which gives it more uniform thickness (caliper). By varying the number of rolls u [..]
