• Wallpaper manufacturing is
an intricate process, involving
various phases.

•  Manufacturing process of
wallpapers is described step
by step in the following
section:
 1. Making the Paper
• An entire tree is used for producing ground wood sheets of paper.
• The bark is removed from the tree, and the tree is pressed against a revolving tread.
• It results in grinding the wood into slurry.
• This is used for making a ground wood sheet, a relatively low-cost wallpaper backing.

2. Coating
• Prior to printing the pattern on the wallpaper,
the backing needs to be coated with a ground
color.
• Ground wood sheets are coated with PVC
(vinyl).
3. Printing
Wallpaper printing techniques are primarily
divided into 4 types.All of them have their own sets of advantages. They are:

I. Surface Printing — In surface printing, impregnated metal rollers with a rubber pattern are
used. These are mounted on a single machine. Ink is applied to the surface roller. The ink lays in
the rubber pattern or hills sitting above the surface of the roller. Ink is then pressed on to the
paper by the roller.
II. Gravure Printing — Individual roller is used for printing a single color. Large, full-size gravure-
printing machines can hold as much as 12 cylinders, capable of creating the whole pattern.
III.SILK SCREEN PRINTING- First, a photographic negative is made
according to the pattern to be imprinted.

• This is followed by attachment of a silk screen stretched over a magnesium

or wooden frame. The screen is then coated with a light-sensitive emulsion,
followed by placing the photographic negative on top of the screen. 

IV. Rotary Printing — Rotary printing combines mechanics of gravure

painting with the precision of photographically produced stencils. It starts with
wrapping mesh stencils around hollow tubes mounted within a machine. 

4. Prepasting
Upon successful printing of the wallpaper, it is rolled with a wet cornstarch
or wheat starch-based coating. Then it is dried thoroughly before
packaging.

5. Packaging
Residential-use wallpapers are cut down into rolls of 15 yards or 13.71
meters. Commercial-use rolls are packaged in 30, 45 and 60 yards rolls. A
run number, printed label, and hanging instructions are placed against
each roll before storing them in a warehouse, where they await the final
 WALLPAPER SYMBOLS
• Wallpaper symbols present a mystery for most people. It’s important to understand how to interpret
them in order to care for high-quality wallcoverings properly.

• There are various methods of safe cleaning that might be indicated by symbols on the wallpaper.
