When it comes to printed materials, the finish you choose can completely change how your design looks and feels. From high-gloss shine to a smooth matte texture, each option adds a unique touch that affects both appearance and durability. Understanding these differences helps you select the right finish to represent your brand.

Gloss Cover: Vibrant and Eye-Catching

Gloss Cover paper has a shiny surface that enhances color and detail, making images appear vivid and sharp. It’s a great choice for brochures, flyers, and postcards that rely on visual appeal. The coating also adds a protective layer, helping your prints resist smudges and moisture. If your design includes full-color photography or rich graphics, Gloss Cover delivers the boldest results.

Matte Cover: Smooth and Modern

Matte Cover offers a soft, elegant finish with minimal glare. Colors appear slightly subdued, creating a refined and contemporary look. This finish works best for corporate reports, catalogs, and menus where readability and professionalism matter. It’s ideal for brands that prefer a clean, understated presentation.

Premium Matte Cover: Soft-Touch Luxury

Premium Matte Cover adds thickness and a velvety feel that enhances the sense of quality. The tactile finish makes it perfect for high-end brochures, product catalogs, and presentation folders. It communicates sophistication and trust, which is why luxury brands often prefer this stock for client-facing materials.

Uncoated Cover: Natural and Writable

Uncoated Cover has no shiny layer, giving it a textured, organic feel. It’s the easiest finish to write on, making it ideal for stationery, invitation cards, and business forms. Because of its natural texture, it conveys warmth and authenticity, which works beautifully for community-focused or eco-conscious brands.

Why Paper Finish Matters for Your Brand

Your paper choice influences not only how your materials look but also how your audience perceives your business. Gloss makes your brand pop, Matte adds subtle sophistication, Premium Matte delivers a luxury feel, and Uncoated creates a natural connection. Each finish tells a different story through texture and touch.
