Offset/Digital Press

Coated paper doesn’t absorb as much ink as an uncoated stock, making it a more glossy sheet. Images, type, and photographs look sharper on coated stock.

Coated stocks are not always glossy, and are available in a variety of finishes such as dull, matte or silk. These finishes make it easier on the eye for reading long type passages.

Uncoated papers are rough compared to the coated stocks. They have a tendency to dry faster to the touch and are easier to write on than coated stock.

We recommend glossy stock for brochures with pictures and other attractive design elements that you want to draw attention to.

A matte, dull or silk stock is best for literature that needs to be read, as it is easier on the eye.

An uncoated stock is best for material that needs to be filled out by the recipient. It’s also great to use when going for a “natural” or more “earthy” look.

Bindery

Perfect Binding is when the pages and cover are glued together at the spine with a strong yet flexible thermal glue. The other three sides of the book are then trimmed as needed to give them clean “perfect” edges. Twin Loop Wire bound documents have a sleek appealing appearance and will lay flat and wrap around for easier reading.
