Special Finishing Options After Printing
Matte Coated Art Paper, also called dull coated art paper, is a member of the coated art paper family. It uses identical paper base and manufacturing procedures as standard single-sided or double-sided glossy coated art paper. The core distinction lies in the special raw materials used for its surface coating layer, which eliminates strong surface sheen and delivers a soft, non-reflective matte finish.
Core Material & Texture Features
The matte art paper uses low-refraction matte pigments in its coating formula. Its surface is smooth but not shiny; no mirror reflection occurs under light.
Touch & Visual Performance
It has a delicate, silky flat texture. Printed colors appear low-saturation, elegant and soft, without harsh glare. Text on matte paper is eye-friendly for long-time reading, as light reflection will not blur words.
Printing Advantages
Excellent ink absorption & dot reproduction, sharp fine lines and gradual color gradients
No fingerprint marks left on the surface after touching
No glare interference when shooting or scanning printed works
Common Applications
High-end brochures, luxury product catalogs, art photo albums, fashion magazines, premium flyers, hardcover book inner pages, museum exhibition pamphlets, and brand gift packaging inserts. It is widely chosen for minimalist, high-grade visual design styles that require a calm, sophisticated texture.
Industry Specifications
Standard grammages range from 105gsm to 300gsm. It supports offset printing, UV printing, hot stamping and die-cutting. Unlike uncoated offset paper, its coated surface avoids ink penetration and fuzzy printing.
Glossy Coated Art Paper, commonly referred to as coated art paper, is the foundational member of the coated art paper family. It shares the same paper base and manufacturing workflow as matte coated art paper. The core distinction lies in the high-gloss mineral pigments adopted in its surface coating formula, which creates a bright, mirror-like reflective glossy finish.
Core Material & Texture Features
Gloss coated art paper utilizes high-refraction glossy clay and pigments for its surface coating. Its surface is ultra-smooth and highly reflective, producing distinct mirror sheen when exposed to light.
Touch & Visual Performance
It features a sleek, polished flat texture. Printed colors come out vivid, saturated and vibrant with striking luster. The strong surface gloss makes images pop with sharp contrast, though direct lighting may cause reflective glare that strains eyes during prolonged reading.
Printing Advantages
Outstanding ink holdout and vivid color saturation, highly saturated solid tones and crisp image details
Bright reflective surface maximizes the vibrancy of full-color photos and commercial graphics
Perfect finish for high-shine effects after lamination, UV coating and foil stamping
Common Applications
Commercial product brochures, retail flyers, advertising posters, fashion magazines, promotional leaflets, product packaging inserts, photo posters and mass-market catalogs. It is widely selected for commercial marketing designs that demand bright, eye-catching, high-color-brightness visual effects.
Industry Specifications
Standard grammages range from 105gsm to 300gsm. It is compatible with offset printing, digital printing, UV varnishing, hot stamping and embossing. The sealed coated layer prevents ink sinking into the paper core, delivering crisp, clear printed dots and rich color layering.
Woodfree Offset Paper, also known as uncoated woodfree paper, is a premium printing paper made purely from chemical pulp without mechanical groundwood pulp. It contains no clay coating on both sides, featuring a natural matte surface.
Core Material Advantage
100% chemical wood pulp composition
Free from mechanical pulp, so the paper will not turn yellow or brittle after long-term storage, with excellent aging resistance.
Low impurity, uniform fiber distribution
Stable paper formation, no speckles, holes or uneven texture on the sheet surface.
Surface & Printing Performance
Matte, slightly textured uncoated surface, comfortable hand feel without slippery gloss
Good ink absorption and fast ink drying, no ink smudging or dot gain during offset printing
High ink color reduction, text prints sharp and clear; ideal for large text books, brochures and manuals
Stable dimensional stability, less paper expansion/shrinkage during printing, reduces register misalignment
Two Common Color Versions
1. High White Woodfree Offset
Bright pure white tone, high whiteness, suits color leaflets, product catalogs and high-grade flyers.
2. Cream / Ivory Woodfree Offset
Soft warm off-white tone, low eye irritation, widely used for textbooks, notebooks, novels and long reading publications.
Standard Grammage Range
70gsm ~ 315gsm, available in sheet size (cut sheets per ream) and jumbo roll formats.
Main Application Scenarios
Books, magazines, textbooks, notebooks
Instruction manuals, corporate brochures, flyers
Office printing paper, letterheads, envelopes
Color pamphlets, calendar inner pages, notepads

FAQs
What is bleed for stationery?
Bleed is an extended print margin added around all four sides of your stationery artwork before printing. We require a minimum 3mm bleed on every edge for regular flat stationery such as letterheads and notepaper. Folded stationery like folded note cards, custom envelopes and multi-page writing sets need adjusted bleed sizes ranging from 3mm to 5mm. When stationery is trimmed down to final size, the bleed prevents unwanted white borders and stops critical design elements including logos, borders and brand graphics from being sliced off. Different folded and shaped stationery items require customized bleed settings, so always download our official stationery templates to confirm the exact bleed measurement.
What is the stationery safe area?
The safe area sits inside the final trim line of your stationery pieces. All vital content including company names, contact information, logos, handwriting space, monograms and key decorative elements must be kept well within this zone. Minor shifting can happen during trimming, scoring, folding and finishing processes; keeping content out of the trim buffer eliminates the risk of important details being cut away or covered by folds.
What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK for stationery designs?
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the colour mode used for digital screens like monitors and phones, which produces brighter, more vivid on-screen tones for digital previews. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the standard colour gamut for physical offset and digital stationery printing. All stationery artwork must be created and saved in CMYK mode to avoid washed-out, mismatched colours on finished letterheads, envelopes, notebooks and matching branded sets.
Why do I need to embed fonts in my stationery file?
If fonts are not embedded within your PDF or AI artwork file, our printing system will automatically replace missing fonts with default system fonts when we open your design. This will alter text spacing, sizing and the unified branded appearance of your entire stationery suite. Embedding all fonts locks text in place so your lettering, addresses and branding appear exactly as you created them during production.
How do I order printed stationery?
Ordering custom stationery is simple with our printing service. Prepare your print-ready CMYK artwork with correct bleed and safe margins, upload your file, select your preferred stationery type, size, paper weight and folding style, add special finishes such as spot UV, foil or soft-touch lamination if required, review and approve your digital proof, then submit your order. Our design support team is available to assist with full matching stationery suites, custom sizing, bespoke die-cut shapes or any artwork adjustments you may need.
What are the standard stationery sizes?
Our most popular standard stationery dimensions are:
A4 Letterhead: 210mm × 297mm (Official business letter writing paper, most common office size)
A5 Notepaper: 148mm × 210mm (Memos, personal notes and office jotting pages)
A6 Mini Note Card: 105mm × 148mm (Thank-you cards, small message cards)
DL Compliment Slip: 99mm × 210mm (Long narrow slips for invoices and order notes)
We also offer custom square, slim and bespoke sizes for exclusive branded stationery sets.
What folding styles are available for stationery?
We supply a full range of folding options to suit different stationery uses: basic half-fold note cards, gate-fold greeting stationery, z-fold multi-panel office cards, plus flat non-folded single sheets for letterheads and writing pads. If you require custom multi-panel folds, perforated tear-off pages or integrated tear tabs, our team can accommodate bespoke folding layouts for journals and custom notepads.
What resolution is best for stationery artwork?
For sharp, crisp printed stationery free of blurry text or pixelated logos and decorative patterns, we recommend all artwork files be set to a minimum resolution of 300dpi at full print size. Low-resolution images below 300dpi will appear fuzzy and low-quality once printed at full scale.
What paper materials are available for stationery?
Your paper choice depends on your brand style, budget and daily usage:
Gloss coated art paper: Vibrant colour reproduction with a shiny reflective surface, perfect for colourful creative brand stationery.
Matte coated stock: Soft non-reflective finish for polished corporate stationery, ideal for formal business correspondence.
Uncoated offset/recycled paper: Natural smooth texture that supports easy handwriting, great for everyday office notes and eco-conscious branding.
Premium textured art paper: Linen, kraft and cotton stocks for luxury high-end corporate and personalized stationery suites.
We also offer thicker heavyweight cardstock for rigid note cards and lightweight smooth paper for high-volume office letterheads.
What special finishes can I add to stationery?
Multiple premium finishing upgrades are available to elevate your stationery: soft-touch matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV varnish, gold/silver/rose gold foil stamping, embossing/debossing, custom die-cut shapes, edge painting and perforated tear-off pages. Lamination options add water resistance and durability for frequently handled office stationery.
What is the minimum order quantity for stationery?
Our standard minimum order quantity for basic flat uncoated letterheads and notepads is 50 pieces. For fully custom die-cut stationery or special luxury finishes such as foil and spot UV, a higher minimum MOQ may apply. Contact our sales team for bundled bulk pricing on full matching stationery suites including envelopes, cards and pads.
How long does stationery printing take?
Our standard turnaround time for stationery is 3–5 business days from digital proof approval. We offer expedited rush production options for urgent office and corporate orders with faster delivery timelines available upon request. Stationery sets with multiple finishes and matched components require slightly longer production time.
