- How to choose premium paper
Paper selection would be the most important decision when it comes to custom printings. It influences products as much as ink and design. It may influence the usage methods, time and places of printing matter, as well as printing under mass printing production.
Basic paper knowledge
The main function you need to be familiar is weight, finish and gloss when ordering standard printing paper. Under most circumstances, paper weight matches its thickness and stiffness. Paper with higher weight tends to be thicker and stiffer.
Paper is divided into coated paper and uncoated paper. Uncoated paper is not reflective such as printing paper while coated paper has a dull, matte or glossy finish. Dim, matte paper is smoother and more refined than uncoated paper but not so shinny as glossy paper. Coated paper can present clearer and more vivid effect.

Affordable paper choosing
Paper will directly influence the price of any printings. Expensive paper would increase your printing cost especially under mass printing production. Thus you need to find paper that suits your budget.
