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 
Woodfree Offset Paper is uncoated premium paper made of pure chemical pulp. It boasts anti-yellowing property, uniform texture and outstanding offset printing performance with crisp text & natural color rendering. 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.
Free from mechanical groundwood pulp in premium grades, slowing down yellowing over time.

Surface & Printing Performance
Natural matte uncoated surface with soft texture, similar to regular woodfree offset.
Balanced ink absorption, fast drying during offset printing, clear text reproduction and stable dot performance.
Good dimensional stability, minimal stretch or shrinkage under press dampening water, less registration shift.
Slightly lower brightness than virgin woodfree offset; ideal for muted, natural print styles rather than ultra-bright vibrant color layouts.

Common Grammage & Formats
Standard weight range: 70gsm – 300gsm.
Supplied in flat cut sheets (ream packing) and large jumbo rolls for commercial printing presses.

Typical Applications
Eco-friendly brand brochures, flyers and leaflets

Trade books, magazines and educational textbooks with environmental positioning
Packaging inserts, gift card inserts and event programs

FAQs

What is bleed?

Bleed is an area of print outside the document that must be added to your brochure artwork before it’s sent off for print. By adding the all-important bleed (a minimum of 3mm on all outer edges of every panel), there’ll be no risk of white space left on your brochure and it’ll be trimmed correctly without cutting into any design. Folded brochures like trifold, gate-fold or multi-page booklets require consistent bleed across all panels, so be sure to check our downloadable brochure templates to find out the correct amount.

What is safe area?

The safe area is the inner buffer space inside the final trim line of each brochure panel. Keeping any important parts of your design—text, logos, product images, contact details—well away from this zone will make sure that they aren’t accidentally trimmed off or covered by fold creases due to minor natural shifting during trimming, folding and finishing.

What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK?

RGB is the colour gamut used to display images on a computer screen, and stands for Red, Green and Blue. CMYK is the colour gamut used for conventional offset and digital printing, and stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. All brochure artwork must be created and saved in CMYK mode to prevent colour fading or mismatched tones on the finished folded print.

Why do I need to embed fonts?

If you don’t embed fonts and your brochure file is opened on another computer system that doesn’t have access to the original fonts, generic substitute fonts will be applied instead. This will disrupt text spacing, layout and your brand’s consistent look across every folded panel. Embedding fonts into your original PDF or AI design file locks text formatting so your brochure appears exactly as you designed it.

How to print Brochures?

Brochure printing can be made a lot easier by using our professional printing service. Just prepare your multi-panel print-ready artwork, upload your design to our team, choose your brochure size, paper weight and folding style, select premium finishing touches like lamination, foil or spot UV coating, preview and approve the digital proof of all folded spreads, place your order. If you have custom page counts, special die-cut shapes or bespoke folding requests, our design team are always happy to help.

What is the standard Brochure size?

Our most popular standard brochure base sizes are:
  • A4 folded down to A5 (210mm × 148mm)
  • DL Brochure: 99mm × 210mm (long narrow mailer format)
  • A5 full flat size: 148mm × 210mm
  • However, if you’re looking for something unique, we also offer alternative sizes including square, slim wide and custom oversized booklet options to help your brand stand out.

What folding styles are available for Brochures?

We believe your brochure should match your brand’s content and purpose, which is why we offer a wide array of creative folding styles to choose from. Whether you’re drawn to the compact trifold layout for product catalogues, the elegant gate-fold for luxury brand introductions, the multi-page z-fold for step-by-step guides, or simple half-fold for short promotional leaflets, we’ve got something for every marketing need. Custom multi-page saddle-stitched booklets are also available.

What resolution is best for Brochure artwork?

To ensure the highest quality print across all folded panels, we recommend uploading your brochure artwork at a resolution of 300dpi (dots per inch). This ensures that all small text, product photos and graphic details appear crisp and clear when printed on every page of your finished brochure.

What material is best to print Brochures?

Choosing the right material for your Brochures depends on the impression you want to leave and your intended use. Here are some popular options:

• Gloss Coated Art Stock: Bright reflective surface that boosts vibrant colour saturation, perfect for retail, food and event marketing brochures.

• Matte Coated Stock: Soft non-glare finish with a premium, muted tone, ideal for real estate, beauty and corporate brand catalogues.
• Uncoated Recycled Paper: Natural textured finish with no surface coating, providing an eco-friendly, soft touchable texture that’s great for handwritten notes and sustainable brand campaigns.
• Heavyweight Textured Card: Thick linen or cotton stock for luxury high-end brochures that feel premium when handled.
