Key Benefits

Non-gloss elegance: Subtle, premium look with excellent legibility.

Print clarity: Coated two-sides (C2S) surface supports vibrant full-color on both sides.

Professional feel: Available in standard 16pt or super-thick 32pt for added impact.

Flexible customization: Options like raised ink, spot gloss, white ink, and colored edges let you tailor the finish to your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is matte the same as uncoated? No—this is a matte laminate over coated cover (C2S) for smooth color and added durability. Uncoated has a natural tooth and a softer paper-white look.

Can I write on these? Yes. Most ballpoint and felt-tip pens write well on the matte surface.

Which thickness should I choose? 16pt is a premium standard; 32pt is ultra-thick for a substantial, luxury feel.

Do you check files? We provide a digital proof and will flag common issues (bleed, safe margins, orientation) before printing.
