THE FEEL-GOOD GUIDE

You don’t need to speak print. Start with what you’re making and how you want it to feel.

A LITTLE LESS JARGON

Feel first. Numbers second.

Card or paper?

Card holds its shape; text paper bends more easily. Choose card for a substantial hand-held piece and paper for handouts or multiple pages.

Matte or gloss?

Matte has less sheen. Gloss catches more light. A coating, the paper surface and a lamination are different things—your product’s exact specification tells you what is included.

16pt or 100lb?

These use different measuring systems. “pt” describes thickness; “lb” is a paper-weight designation. You can’t compare the numbers directly or use them to predict an exact feel on screen.

Illustrations help explain the formats; they are not colour or texture proofs. Your selected product’s specification is the source for the material and finish you’ll receive.
