Picking the Right Printing Paper

No matter how great your printing technology or design is, if you pick the wrong type of paper for the print, your investment will only go to waste. Different types of print jobs require different paper quality. Picking the right paper type for your print job, be it a flyer, postcard or a brochure, will determine whether the outcome is successful. Here in this article we will discuss some tips to help you pick the right paper type for your print job, as suggested by printing experts at Documedia's printing services.

Tips on Choosing the Best Paper

Here are some of the most effective tips to help you choose the right paper type for your print job as suggested by print consultants at Documedia.

1. The more important and prestigious the print piece is, the thicker the paper should be. However, this does not imply that your brochures resemble a cardboard. Basically adding thickness lends esteem and credibility.

2. Brochures are best printed on 70 pound to 100 pound text stock or cover, while 14 and 13 point paper works well for postcards. For paper type recommendations of other types of print jobs, just contact Documedia's printing services.

3. Matte stocks are good options if you want a more subtle appeal, suggesting sophistication and exclusivity.

4. Paper stocks with gloss finish are a good option if you want to grab attention or make a flashy delivery.

5. Special coatings like UV and aqueous further improve the print quality by incorporating an extra layer of protection and brilliance.

6. White paper is usually the best option as color can be easily printed.

So the next time you need to get corporate promotional material for your business organization, contact Documedia. Documedia uses state of the art printing press and cutting edge finishing technology to produce high quality prints guaranteed to meet all your requirements.
