Choosing the right paper

The perfect paper enhances your design, reflects your brand’s identity, and strengthens customer connections. Here is some info to help you make the right choice!

Matte-coated and gloss-coated

Matte-coated and gloss-coated papers offer different finishes. Gloss paper has a shiny, vibrant finish, ideal for leaflets and flyers. Matte paper has a soft, textured feel and reduces glare, making it perfect for books and print with heavy text, as it’s easier to read and write on.

Silk-Coated and Satin finish

Silk-coated paper offers a smooth, glossy feel without the glare, making it ideal for premium prints like magazines. It provides excellent contrast with ink and is perfect for luxury items. Soft touch and velvet finishes add a pleasant texture, while satin finishes offer a subtle sheen for versatile use.

Uncoated Paper

Uncoated paper, like bond paper, is commonly used in office printers. Its uncoated surface makes it ideal for ink absorption. For a more sustainable option, uncoated paper is a great choice. It’s the easiest to recycle, helping to maintain a continuous paper cycle.

Recycled Paper

Recycled paper, made from 60% to 100% reused pulp, is a great eco-friendly choice. It is worth noting that fresh fibers from sustainable forests are sometimes needed to maintain quality and sustainability.

Carbon Balanced Paper

By opting for Carbon Balanced Paper, you can offset the carbon emissions generated during its production through conservation projects led by the World Land Trust. This initiative helps preserve endangered forests, absorb CO₂, and support your Corporate Social Responsibility goals. Find out more by visiting our sustainability page.
