Uncoated vs Coated Paper Stocks

Use uncoated paper for luxury, minimalist designs where the texture of the paper *is* the design.

If your logo has a lot of small text, woven patches will be much more legible than embroidery.

Hard enamel is the standard for corporate lapel pins and high-end retail merchandise.

Perfect binding requires a minimum page count (usually 28+) to create a thick enough spine.

We recommend 50/50 blends for uniform programs where shirts are washed weekly.

Aqueous is perfect for brochures because it prevents fingerprint smudges during reading.

We use heavy-duty saddle stitching for event programs so they lay flat when opened.

A die-cut card in the shape of a house or roof instantly tells the client what you do.

If you have a large circular logo, always choose a pullover so the zipper doesn't slice it in half.

Suede lamination adds rigidity to the card, making a 16pt feel like an 18pt.

Stainless steel laser engraves beautifully, exposing the silver metal beneath the coating.

Canvas bags can be screen printed just like a high-quality t-shirt.
