What is Drafting Vellum Paper?
Drafting vellum paper is a translucent drawing surface used for technical drafting and design applications. It allows for precise line work while making it possible to trace, layer, and revise drawings without losing clarity.
Architectural vellum paper is commonly used for overlays, revisions, and detailed layouts where consistency and control are important.
Choosing the Right Drafting Vellum
Drafting vellum paper is available in different weights and formats depending on the application. Lighter vellum is typically used for tracing and overlays, while heavier vellum provides greater durability for finished drawings and repeated use.
- Lightweight Vellum: Used for tracing, overlays, and layered drawings
- Heavier Vellum: Better suited for finished drawings and long-term use
- Rolls: Preferred for large-format drafting and continuous work
- Sheets & Pads: Used for smaller projects, classrooms, and individual drawings
Drafting Vellum for Architectural & Design Work
Drafting vellum is widely used in architectural drafting, engineering drawings, and design work due to its smooth surface and consistent translucency. It works well with pencil, ink, and technical drawing tools, allowing for clean, controlled results.
