GOST 8273-75 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 8273-75 — "Packing paper. Specifications" (Russian: ГОСТ 8273-75, Бумага оберточная. Технические условия). Interstate (USSR) standard that establishes technical requirements, grades and acceptance rules for wrapping/packing paper used for packaging, padding and as a raw material for cardboard and other packaging products.

Abstract

This standard specifies technical conditions for production, physical and mechanical properties, marking, formats and acceptance of packing (wrapping) paper. It defines product grades by intended use and grammage, lists permitted raw-material types and quality characteristics (moisture, tensile/tear properties, sizing/protection where applicable), and establishes requirements for testing and documentation used in commercial and industrial supply of packing paper.

General information

• Status: Listed as active / in force in common standards catalogs (interstate GOST standard; verify national registry for current legal status before application).
• Publication date: Approved 1975; date of introduction 01 January 1976.
• Publisher: State Committee for Standards of the USSR (Gosstandart) — issued as an interstate GOST.
• ICS / categories: 55 (Packaging and distribution of goods) and 85 (Paper technology), e.g. ICS 55.* and 85.080 (paper products / packing papers).
• Edition / version: Designation GOST 8273-75 (1975 edition); contains later amendments/changes recorded in standards catalogues (amendments published in 1981, 1985 and 1990 are commonly referenced in document listings).
• Number of pages: Short technical standard — typically 8 pages in published form.

Scope

Applies to wrapping/packing paper manufactured from pulp, recycled fibres and paper-making wastes, produced in a range of grades for uses such as product wrapping, interleaving, cushioning, lining, and as a component/raw material for corrugated board. The standard covers product naming, grade (mark) definitions, acceptable grammage ranges and formats, required physical and mechanical properties, sampling and test methods, marking, packaging and rules for supplier documentation and acceptance.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of product grades/marks (examples: marks commonly cited in commerce include E, Ж (Zh), Л (L), A and others) and their typical grammage/usage categories.
• Permitted raw materials (pulp types, recycled content limits) and general manufacturing/quality constraints for wrapping paper.
• Physical and mechanical property requirements such as grammage (g/m²), tensile/tear strength, breaking length or equivalent strength indicators, moisture content, and sizing/porosity where applicable.
• Standard formats and roll widths commonly produced (examples: 840 mm, 1050 mm, 1150–1260 mm and larger widths used commercially).
• Sampling, test and acceptance procedures, plus marking, packing and documentation requirements for commercial delivery.
• Notes on special types (e.g., kraft, sulfite, paraffined or otherwise treated paper) and limitations for direct food contact unless additionally specified.

Typical use and users

Used by paper mills, packaging manufacturers, corrugated-board producers, converters, wholesalers and procurement specialists in manufacturing, logistics and retail. Typical applications include wrapping consumer goods, interleaving fragile items (glass, ceramics), lining and cushioning in transport, and as a substrate/raw-material for corrugated medium and bag stock (where grammage and properties meet downstream requirements).

Related standards

References and commonly associated documents include earlier or related GOSTs on paper and packaging (for example the previous GOST 8273-57 that this edition replaced), standards for paper for bags and corrugated board, and other paper-technology and packaging test-method standards used together with GOST 8273-75 in procurement and production. National or modern equivalents (GOST R or regional standards) and specific test method standards may be used alongside it in practice.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 8273-75 is an interstate standard (approved 1975, in force from 01 January 1976) that specifies technical requirements and acceptance rules for packing/wrapping paper.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product definitions and grades (marks), permitted raw materials, typical grammage ranges and formats, required physical/mechanical properties, sampling and testing, marking and packing requirements for wrapping/packing paper.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Paper mills, packaging converters, corrugated-board manufacturers, procurement and quality departments, wholesalers and logistics companies that buy or produce wrapping paper to meet established technical specifications.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard is widely listed in standards catalogues as the 1975 (introduced 1976) edition and commonly shown as active in commercial document libraries. Users should confirm the current legal or regulatory status with their national standards body or the official standards registry before formal use, since national adoptions or later national/regulatory technical rules may supersede or supplement interstate GOST texts.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of paper and packaging GOST standards and refers to and is referenced by other standards governing paper, bags, corrugated board and testing methods; it replaced an earlier 1957 edition (GOST 8273-57) and is associated with related national/regional standards used in packaging supply chains.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Wrapping paper, packing paper, grammage, paper grades (E, Ж, Л, A), paper products, packaging, ГОСТ 8273-75, оберточная бумага.
