JK Copier Paper in Sri Lanka: Specs, GSM and Price Guide (2026)

What is JK Copier paper and how much does it cost in Sri Lanka?

JK Copier is a multipurpose office paper made by JK Paper Ltd of India, sold most commonly as a 75 GSM A4 ream of 500 sheets and used for everyday printing, photocopying and faxing. In Sri Lanka the price you pay depends on the size (A4, A5, F4/legal), the GSM and whether you buy a single ream or a box of five reams, so always check the current listing before ordering in bulk. At Officestationery.lk you can buy JK Copier in different sizes and weights online or in store, with live LKR pricing shown on each product page rather than baked into this guide (prices move with paper-pulp costs and the rupee).

JK Copier paper at a glance

JK Copier is positioned as a premium plantation-pulp office paper. Independent retailer specifications list the core 75 GSM grade as follows:

• Weight: 75 GSM (grams per square metre) for the standard grade; 80 GSM is also produced.
• Sheet size: A4 measures 210 x 297 mm, the dimensions fixed by the international ISO 216 standard.
• Pack: 500 sheets per ream; reams are commonly cased in boxes of five or ten.
• Strength: a tear factor of 65 +/- 5 and a breaking length of roughly 4,500 +/- 500 metres, which is what helps it run through printers without jamming.
• Composition: manufactured from plantation wood pulp using a 100% Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) process, and acid-free for long-lasting documents.

For reference on the strength and pack figures, see the product specification published by Industrybuying, and for the A4 dimension the ISO 216 A4 standard.

Who makes JK Copier paper?

JK Copier is produced by JK Paper Ltd, part of the JK Organization, whose name comes from its founders, Juggilal Kamlapat. The company runs integrated pulp-and-paper units in Odisha, Gujarat and Telangana with a combined capacity of 595,000 tonnes per annum, and it backs its paper with a large farm-forestry programme.

According to JK Paper’s FSC profile published with WWF India:

India’s largest producer of Branded Papers and is a leading player in Coated Paper and High-End Packaging Boards… we have reforested over 1,50,000 hectares of land in Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

That scale and the 100% ECF, acid-free sheet are the reasons JK Copier is a common choice for offices, schools and print shops across South Asia, including Sri Lanka.

Why GSM and ColorLok matter

70 GSM vs 75 GSM vs 80 GSM

GSM (grams per square metre) is the weight, and therefore roughly the thickness and opacity, of a sheet. Lighter 70 GSM paper is fine for high-volume internal printing and copying. 75 GSM, the standard JK Copier grade, is a balanced everyday choice that resists show-through better. 80 GSM is the heaviest of the three and is preferred for double-sided documents, client-facing reports and colour work, where opacity and a more substantial feel matter.

What ColorLok technology does

JK Copier sheets carry ColorLok technology, a paper additive that holds ink pigment near the surface instead of letting it soak in. HP, which co-developed the standard, states that papers

with ColorLok® Technology offer more vivid colours, bolder blacks, crisper text and faster drying.

In practice that means less smudging on freshly printed pages and sharper black text, which is useful for high-volume office printing.

How big is the copy-paper market?

Despite the move towards digital documents, copy paper remains a large global category. The global copy paper market was valued at USD 16,251.5 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 2.90% from 2024 to 2031, according to Cognitive Market Research. Steady demand from offices, schools and government keeps reliable brands such as JK Copier in regular supply.

How to choose and buy

• Match GSM to the job: 70–75 GSM for everyday copying, 80 GSM for double-sided or client documents.
• Match size to the document: A4 for standard letters and reports, A5 for handouts and notes, F4/legal where required.
• Buy by the box for value: a five-ream box lowers the per-ream cost for busy offices.
