The various grades of Tyvek paper fall under these two main umbrellas:

• 1. Hard Structure (Paper-like) These styles are thermally bonded throughout, giving them stiffness and a crisp paper feel. They are highly opaque, tear-resistant, fold well (dead-fold), and are excellent for printing and heavy-duty tags.
• Tyvek® 1025D: A lightweight, highly printable 41.5 GSM sheet used for lightweight maps, tickets, and high-quality graphics.
• Tyvek® 1056D: A 55 GSM lightweight sheet offering excellent fold endurance; primarily utilized for envelopes, tags, and basic graphics.
• Tyvek® 1070D / 1073D: The classic, all-rounder papers (74 to 75 GSM). They are relatively stiff and are widely used for tough outdoor maps, manuals, and archival applications.
• Tyvek® 1082D: The heaviest “paper” grade (105 GSM). It has a robust, cardboard-like stiffness and is ideal for heavy-duty wristbands, banner-stand materials, and sturdy packaging.
• 2. Soft Structure (Fabric-like) These are lightly bonded with an embossed pattern, giving them a softer, flexible feel that drapes like cloth but maintains Tyvek's puncture- and tear-resistant qualities.
• Tyvek® 1443R: A 42.5 to 43 GSM grade with a textile-like feel. Widely used for protective coveralls, promotional bags, and lightweight crafts.
• Tyvek® 1442R: Similar to 1443R, a lightweight (43 GSM) breathable and drapeable material often used in apparel and consumer goods. [1, 2]
• Tyvek® 1473R: A slightly heavier soft-structure grade (approx. 57 GSM) used for specialized textile-like applications where higher tear resistance is needed.
• 3. Medical and Sterile Packaging Grades These grades feature superior microbial barrier properties and breathability, allowing for sterilization.
• Tyvek® 1073B: The strongest medical-grade style (74 GSM), used extensively for packaging heavy or high-risk medical devices.
• Tyvek® 1059B: A lighter weight medical-grade option (68 GSM) used for smaller, lighter, or less risky medical devices.
• Tyvek® 2FS™: The lightest medical grade (approx. 60 GSM), providing excellent puncture resistance and an ultra-fine microbial barrier for form-fill-seal packaging.
