What we love about this newsprint example:
This newsprint captures the spirit of Paddy Times. Printed in a convenient tabloid size of 11 3/8″ x 17″, the piece makes a bold statement. The use of 35# 80 Brite paper adds a classic touch, creating an engaging and tactile experience that is both nostalgic and contemporary. This project offers a seamless blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern aesthetics. Particularly noteworthy is the four-color printing on the newsprint, which injects a vibrant depth into the visuals, making the content come alive.

Production notes for four-color tabloids
Four-color newsprint has a different production profile than coated-sheet printing because paper brightness, ink gain, and image contrast are more visible. The Paddy Times tabloid uses 35# 80 Brite paper at an 11 3/8 x 17 size to keep the piece lively, tactile, and easy to distribute.
For similar campaign newspapers, event tabloids, and editorial handouts, we review color expectations, page count, fold pattern, trim tolerance, image contrast, and whether the piece needs bundles, mail preparation, or venue delivery. Those checks help the final paper feel vibrant without losing the newsprint character.
