Information about the stock we offer
80# Matte Cover
80# matte cover is a medium-weight, non-glossy cardstock with a smooth surface that is well-suited for projects requiring a professional and elegant look without a high shine. It is thicker than 80# text weight paper and is often used for covers of booklets, menus, and business cards. The matte finish provides a surface that is easy to write on and produces crisp, detailed printing.
Laminated Gloss
Laminated gloss paper has a high-shine, plastic-like coating that protects the paper while making colors appear vibrant and eye-catching. This finish is very reflective, which can cause glare and show fingerprints, making it ideal for materials like photos and brochures where visual impact is key, but less ideal for text-heavy documents that need to be read easily in various lighting conditions. The lamination process also provides durability, water resistance, and protection against smudges and tears.16pt C2S
16pt C2S paper is a thick, durable cardstock with a glossy or semi-glossy finish on both sides, designed for high-quality printing. "C2S" means it is coated on two sides, and "16pt" refers to its thickness (0.016 inches), making it heavier and more substantial than thinner papers. It is often used for premium projects like flyers, brochures, posters, and presentation folders due to its sturdiness and vibrant color reproduction.
