The invention discloses medicine residue envelope paper. The gram weight is 80 to 200gsm; a main fiber raw material is prepared from traditional Chinese medicine residue slurry, softwood pulp and hardwood pulp with the grain diameter being less than or equal to 3mm and the fiber length less than or equal to 10mm, wherein the weight content of the traditional Chinese medicine residue slurry is 8 percent to 35 percent, the weight content of the softwood pulp is 45 percent to 65 percent and the weight content of the hardwood pulp is 0 to 30 percent. According to the medicine residue envelope paper disclosed by the invention, traditional Chinese medicine residues are used as paper pulp raw materials and are recycled; a treatment step of the traditional Chinese medicine residues is a normal plant fiber raw material pulping process and additional special equipment and treatment technology are not needed; wastes are directly changed into valuable things and resources and cost are saved, so that the treatment difficulty of the medicine residues of a traditional Chinese medicine factory is radically solved. An actual papermaking experiment shows that the envelope paper prepared by doping common wood pulp into the slurry prepared from the traditional Chinese medicine residues meets product quality standards.
