Map paper is a weatherproof and durable type of paper with particularly good dimensional stability , such as is used for maps and other outdoor applications ( thematic maps , wiring plans , etc.). The requirements for map paper are in DIN 6728 .

Essential properties of map paper are:

• Dimensional accuracy - that means little change when influenced by humidity and air temperature
• Water resistance - durability in the rain up to about a minute, as little abrasion as possible on damp paper
• Resistance of the printing inks ( e.g. lightfastness )
• High foldability , yet as tear-resistant as possible in the fold (high number of double folds)
• Can be produced in large formats up to about DIN A0 .
