Matte Finish Paper:

Matte finish has a smooth, non-glossy surface and a more stylish feel. A matte finish is good for producing sharper prints with vibrant colors. Gel pens may have some smearing, making them challenging to write on.

Opaque Paper

This paper has no coating or special finish. As a result, the surface is highly porous, making it ideal for writing on with no smearing.

Additionally, the paper is opaque, so images printed on the other side cannot be seen through.

Uncoated Paper

Uncoated paper is a simple and unprocessed material with no coating or special finish. The surface of the uncoated paper is exceptionally porous, which makes it great for absorbing inks and also creates a smooth, matte surface without glare or gloss; this results in warmer colors and softer prints. Uncoated paper is ideal for writing on without any smudging or smearing.

Our uncoated papers come in 20lb Bond, 70lb Offset, 100lb Cover, 14pt Cover, and 16pt Cover weights. Our Kraft and Shimmer paper varieties are also regarded as uncoated papers.

Coated Paper

Coated papers provide a sharp, crisp appearance to your images. These papers have a great surface for high-quality images with fine detail, and they have a great contrast between the printed image and white space. They are frequently used for glossy optics magazines and catalogs—automotive, jewelry, and appliances.

Our coated papers are available in the following weights: 80lb Gloss Text, 100lb Gloss Text, 100lb Gloss Cover, 14pt C2S, 16pt C2S, and 16pt C1S. (although on C1S, only the FRONT is coated, the back is Uncoated).

Opaque Paper

This paper has no coating or special finish. As a result, the surface is highly porous, making it ideal for writing on with no smearing.

Additionally, the paper is opaque, so images printed on the other side cannot be seen through.

Champagne Shimmer

This type of coating has a golden shimmer, which gives the designs an elegant appeal.

Kraft Paper

Brown Paper Stock is a high-quality, general-purpose printing and writing paper. Brown Paper Stock has a porous surface that allows inks to be absorbed into the paper without spreading out of control. The unique brown color of Brown Paper Stock gives it a unique look when used for printed products.

Natural Off-White

We offer 14pt Natural Cardstock for our Postcards, Business Cards, and Greeting Cards. The off-white tones are more distinguished in comparison with the bright white color of regular paper.

Aqueous Coating or AQ

Aqueous coating is a clear water-based coating applied to the entire sheet of offset printing jobs. This coating helps speed up drying time and reduces fingerprints and scuffs on glossy papers. We use an aqueous coating on our offset printed catalogs, flyers, and brochures.

Foil Stamping

Foil stamping is a method of applying metallic foil to a specific area of your design. Our machines use heat and glue to transfer the foil, and we offer three types of foil in bronze, silver, and gold colors. It's a great way to add a shiny effect to your design for eye-catching results.

Cold Foil

This finish uses a fast, cost-effective process in which a metal-like foil is applied over your design and cured with UV light. This results in a metallic shine effect in a wide array of colors that will make all your designs shimmer and pop.

Pearl Shimmer

It has a pearlescent metal-like shine similar to Champagne Shimmer.

UV Coating

UV coating is a clear liquid applied to a print job and cured with UV light. We offer full-sheet UV coating as well as spot UV coating, which allows us to coat only certain aspects of the design, such as your logo or special text, to make them glossy, creating contrast between the paper stock and the rest of your design. Spot-raised UV adds dimension by adding a slight bevel to the designated area, creating an embossed effect.
