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
Can lottery scratch cards be fully customized?
Yes. We support total customization of card size, overall shape, front/back artwork, game rules, winning patterns, prize tiers, and scratch-off window quantity, position and shape (square, round, irregular die-cut shapes are all available). Brand logos, QR codes, serial numbers and barcodes can be printed on both sides as requiredscratchoff…. All artwork should be submitted in CMYK PDF format with minimum 3mm bleed for formal printing.
What file formats are acceptable for production artwork?
We accept high-resolution vector files including AI, PDF, CDR and EPS. Low-resolution JPG/PNG photos are not recommended, which may cause blurry printing. We provide free basic layout adjustment if clients cannot supply finished artwork.
What materials are optional for lottery scratch tickets?
Two mainstream material categories are available:
- Paper stock: 200gsm–350gsm coated art paper/cardboard, cost-efficient for one-time lottery use; matte/gloss lamination is optional for anti-scratch and waterproof performance
- PVC/PET plastic: Waterproof, tear-resistant and durable, ideal for repeated use or long-term preservation; suitable for outdoor high-frequency circulation
What is the scratch-off coating made of? Is it opaque enough?
The scratch layer adopts professional non-toxic scratch ink. Under strong light, no words/patterns under the coating can be seen, effectively preventing light leakage and fraud. The coating is easy to rub off completely with coins or nails without residual sticky ink. Silver is the most common scratch color; gold, red and custom colored scratch ink can also be ordered.
What anti-counterfeiting security features can be added for formal lottery use?
Multiple security technologies are supported: unique serial numbers, one-to-one variable QR codes/barcodes, holographic foil stamping, micro text printing, UV invisible ink, random code shuffling and password encryption. These features prevent counterfeiting, repeated redemption and batch cheating. Each card can carry exclusive variable winning data independently.
Can every scratch card have unique hidden winning content?
Definitely. We support variable data printing. Each ticket can be embedded with exclusive winning codes, prize information and serial numbers. The win/loss odds and prize proportion can be set according to client’s game plan before mass printing.
Can I get physical samples before bulk order?
Yes. Pre-production samples can be made to verify color accuracy, scratch smoothness, material texture and security effects. Sample cost can be deducted from bulk payment when total quantity meets MOQ.
How long is standard production turnaround?
- Standard order: 3–5 working days after artwork confirmation and sample approval
- Rush expedited order: 1–2 working days with extra rush surcharge for urgent lottery activities. Shipping time is calculated separately based on destination countries.
How many scratch windows can be made on one card? Is extra cost needed for more windows?
There is no upper limit on the number of scratch areas. Adding multiple scratch positions does not generate additional craft fees. We can arrange any number of scratch zones on any card area per your game design
Common application scenarios of custom lottery scratch cards?
Official lottery events, retail lucky draws, restaurant promotions, mall marketing campaigns, festival lucky giveaways, membership reward activities, carnival instant-win games and corporate employee welfare lotteries.
What if the scratch ink peels off abnormally or light leaks after printing?
We strictly inspect opacity and scratch performance before delivery. If quality defects occur due to our printing faults, we reproduce new cards free of charge. Damage caused by improper storage (high temperature, damp environment) or violent scraping is not covered by rework warranty.
Can you offer formal commercial invoices for customs clearance or insurance claims?
Yes. We issue complete commercial invoices, packing lists and production documents with clear quantity, unit price, total value and material descriptions. If you need to add rush charges or other items on invoices for insurance filing, we support targeted revision.
Is die-cut available for special card shapes?
Custom die-cutting is supported. Cards can be made into circles, ovals, logos and all irregular outlines. Die-cut tooling fee is charged for new unique shapes; regular sizes waive die-cut fees.
