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

Industry Selling Points Summary

Available in high white and ivory shades for books, manuals, flyers and office printing.

Recycled Offset Paper is an uncoated printing paper manufactured from post-consumer waste paper and recycled pulp, instead of fresh virgin chemical wood pulp. It is a sustainable alternative to standard woodfree offset paper for offset lithography printing.

Material & Environmental Features
Main raw material: sorted recycled paper pulp, with optional FSC, PEFC or recycled content certifications.
Greatly reduces timber consumption, water waste and carbon emissions compared to virgin woodfree paper.
Two mainstream types: high white recycled offset and natural cream recycled offset; some grades contain visible subtle natural fiber specks as an eco-friendly characteristic.

Thin perforated ticket paper is specially offered for easy separation of admission stubs and customer receipts.

What color modes do you accept for ticket artwork?

Files can be printed in full CMYK four-color process for rich, colorful graphics, photos and patterns. Pantone PMS spot color printing is available for brands requiring strict consistent logo colors. Both single-sided and double-sided printing are supported for tickets with two-side information. RGB files must be converted to CMYK before submission to avoid color deviation after printing.

What standard ticket sizes do you offer? Can I use custom sizes?

Common mainstream ticket sizes: 70mm×200mm long strip ticket, 80mm×180mm event ticket, 90mm×55mm small coupon ticket. Fully personalized bespoke sizes are supported to match wristbands, booklets, roll tickets and multi-part voucher designs. We provide free editable templates with pre-set bleed and safe zones for all regular sizes.

What is bleed and safe zone for ticket designs?

A minimum 3mm bleed is required on all four edges of ticket files. Bleed prevents white blank edges after trimming and stops images/logos from being cut off. All vital content such as numbers, QR codes, text, barcodes must stay within the safe zone 3mm inward from trim lines, to avoid content loss caused by trimming tolerance and perforation positioning errors.

What artwork formats are acceptable for printing tickets?

We prefer print-ready vector files in AI and PDF formats with all fonts embedded. High-resolution PNG and JPG files are acceptable only if images are 300 DPI or higher. Blurry low-resolution images will result in fuzzy barcodes, unclear QR codes and grainy printed tickets.

What is the MOQ for custom printed tickets?

Basic plain CMYK tickets have a low minimum order quantity starting at 100 pieces. Tickets with complex anti-counterfeit features, foil, spot UV and special die cuts require higher MOQ. Bulk large-quantity orders enjoy tiered discounted pricing.

How long is ticket printing turnaround time?

Standard production lead time is 3–5 business days after digital proof confirmation. Fast rush printing service is available for urgent events with shortened lead times. Orders loaded with multiple complex special finishes need extended production time.

What finishing options protect tickets from damage?

Matte lamination and gloss lamination are optional to make tickets waterproof, anti-scratch and wear-resistant for long-term storage. Soft-touch lamination delivers a smooth velvet texture. Edge painting can be added for premium appearance. Perforation lines are precisely positioned for clean tearing between ticket main body and stub.
