Translucent Paper is more expensive than White Paper and less costly than Clear Wafer Seals. Translucent Paper Tabs are less noticeable than White Paper Tabs but, not as invisible as Clear Tabs. The difference between Translucent Paper and White Paper is contained in the material spec under opacity. Translucent Paper is 35% opaque and White Paper is 87% opaque, which means you can see through Translucent Paper easier than White Paper. Translucent Label Paper was created largely for the mailing industry, therefore, the very design of the material makes this a great choice for mailing projects that are multicolor.

For ease of opening, and to prevent the recipient from tearing the mail use a perforated tab. The selection of vertical or horizontal perforation is determined by the type of tabbing machines and the direction that the mailing piece is fed relative to the dispensing direction of the tab.
