Technical Drawing Pad Astra A4 240 g/m² white 10 sheets (pack of 10)

Astra Technical Drawing Pad in A4 format features 240 g/m² white paper in a pad of 10 sheets, supplied as a pack of 10 pads. The heavier paper weight and smooth white surface are intended for precise technical sketches, drafting, tracing and detailed drawing. The paper is suitable for graphite pencils, technical pens, ink and many marker types, providing enough weight to reduce show-through and withstand erasing and reworking during design and drafting tasks.

Advantages

The 240 g/m² paper weight offers durability and stability for detailed line work and shading without excessive buckling. A4 size ensures compatibility with standard desk setups and drawing tools while the white surface provides neutral contrast for accurate reproduction and scanning. Pads of 10 sheets are convenient for sequential projects and the pack of 10 provides an economical supply for studios, classrooms or professional use.

How to use

Place a single sheet on a flat, stable surface or use a drawing board to maintain alignment and reduce movement. Use pencils, technical pens or markers appropriate to your drafting style; heavier inks and markers may require a test on a spare sheet to check for bleed-through. For tracing, align reference material beneath the sheet and secure both with low-tack tape. When erasing, apply gentle pressure to avoid surface abrasion; for wet media, allow adequate drying time and support the sheet to prevent warping.

Usage recommendations

Store pads flat in a cool, dry place to preserve sheet flatness. For archival projects or high-contrast scanning, ensure drawings are free of smudges and fully dry before stacking. Replace sheets as needed to maintain a clean working surface and use slip sheets between wet or heavily inked drawings to prevent transfer.
