SCHEMAT technical drawing pad A4 10 sheets 170 g/m², white, pack of 20

SCHEMAT technical drawing pad A4 contains 10 sheets of 170 g/m² white paper in each pad, supplied as a pack of 20 pads. The heavier paper weight makes the pad suitable for precise technical drawing, drafting, sketching and pattern making where reduced show-through and firmer support for line work are required. The A4 format and moderate sheet count per pad provide a portable and tidy solution for studio work, site visits and classroom use.

Advantages

The 170 g/m² white paper offers improved opacity and stiffness compared with standard copy paper, enabling clearer lines and less bleed from markers or ink. Individual pads with 10 sheets keep sheets organized and accessible while allowing easy removal for presentation or further processing. The consistent white surface supports accurate contrast for pencil, graphite, ink and marker media and helps preserve fine detail in technical drawings and patterns.

Suitable for

• Architectural and engineering drafting
• Technical sketches and diagramming
• Pattern making and templates
• Design studies and student projects
• On-site sketches and field notes

Key specifications

• Format: A4 (210 × 297 mm)
• Sheets per pad: 10
• Paper weight: 170 g/m²
• Paper colour: white
• Pack quantity: 20 pads

How to use

Use the pad on a flat, stable surface or drawing board. Select pencils, technical pens or markers appropriate for 170 g/m² paper to achieve the required line quality; softer pencils and heavier ink pens provide bold contrast while harder pencils preserve fine detail. Remove sheets cleanly from the pad as needed for tracing, scanning or mounting. Store pads flat and away from high humidity to maintain paper flatness and consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results when working with ink or marker, test media on a corner sheet to confirm drying time and bleed-through. When tracing or transferring patterns, place a cutting mat or protective underlay beneath sheets to avoid surface damage. For archival or presentation purposes, allow ink to dry fully before storing drawings in folders or portfolios.
