Our Paper Types and Qualities
BackAlways consider your design, colours and style of occasion when choosing paper type and coating.
We have three types of paper:
Silk paper. Thick card paper with a smooth silky surface. Excellent for vivid colours and photos. Photos are not as glossy as on photo paper. A glossy finish can be added to the front/outside of your cards, making colours and photos really vibrant.
Matt paper. Thick card paper, more textured, brighter white, with a matt look. Great for more formal occasions, simple elegant designs, and text based cards. Glossy finish cannot be added. This paper is not recommended for photos.
Offset paper. Regular A4 paper used at home for printing and copying. Its multi usage makes this the best selection for office paper.
