Choosing paper for your print job

The paper determines how your print feels and looks. Glossy or matt, thin or thick, natural or tear-proof: we help you choose.

  • Satin and silk
  • Natural board
  • Synthetic

Feel the difference

Two flyers with the same design can come across very differently. On satin paper colours shine, on silk everything looks calmer and on natural board you get an artisan look.

Synthetic paper is tear-proof and water-resistant, ideal for menus and anything that gets handled a lot.

Paper types
