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 wedding invitations?
Bleed is an extended print margin added around all four sides of your wedding invitation artwork before printing. We require a minimum 3mm bleed on every edge for regular rectangular invites. Folded gate-fold, pocketfold, square and uniquely die-cut wedding cards need adjusted bleed sizes of 3mm to 5mm. When invitations are trimmed down to final size, the bleed prevents unwanted white borders and stops critical design elements including wedding dates, venue text, couple portraits and decorative borders from being sliced off.
What is the wedding invitation safe area?
The safe area sits inside the final trim line of your wedding invitation. All vital content including couple names, wedding date, venue address, RSVP details, registry information and decorative artwork must be kept well within this zone. Minor shifting can happen during trimming, folding, scoring and luxury finishing processes; keeping content out of the trim buffer eliminates the risk of important wedding details being cut away or hidden along fold lines.
What’s the difference between RGB and CMYK for wedding invitation 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 preview. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the standard colour gamut for physical offset and digital wedding stationery printing. All wedding invitation artwork must be created and saved in CMYK mode to avoid washed-out, mismatched colours on finished printed cards. Pantone (PMS) spot colours are highly recommended to lock in exact wedding theme hues for consistent brand colour accuracy.
Why do I need to embed fonts in my wedding invitation file?
If fonts are not embedded within your PDF or AI artwork file, our printing system will automatically replace missing elegant script or serif wedding fonts with default system fonts when we open your design. This will alter text spacing, sizing, delicate cursive styling and the overall romantic aesthetic of your invitations. Embedding all fonts locks text in place so your invitation design appears exactly as you created it during production.
How do I order printed wedding invitations?
Ordering custom wedding invitations is simple with our printing service. Prepare your print-ready CMYK artwork with proper bleed and safe margins, upload your file, select your preferred invitation size, paper weight and folding structure, add luxury special finishes such as foil, embossing or edge painting if required, review and approve your digital proof, then submit your order. Our design support team is available to assist with custom sizing, bespoke die-cut shapes, matching RSVP card layouts or any artwork adjustments you may need.
What are the standard wedding invitation sizes?
Our most popular standard wedding invitation dimensions are:
A5 Invitation: 148mm × 210mm (Classic vertical rectangular wedding invite, most common choice)
DL Invitation: 99mm × 210mm (Slim tall design for minimalist wedding styles)
Square Invitation: 140mm × 140mm (Modern trendy square wedding stationery)
A6 Invitation: 105mm × 148mm (Compact mini invites for destination weddings)
We also offer custom oversized, slim, arched and bespoke die-cut sizes for exclusive wedding designs.
What folding styles are available for wedding invitations?
We supply a full range of folding options to suit wedding aesthetics: half-fold, gate-fold, tri-fold, z-fold, pocketfold with built-in slots for RSVP cards and reception inserts. Flat non-folded single-panel invitations are widely selected for minimalist weddings. If you require custom multi-panel folds, perforated tear-off RSVP sections or layered pocket card layouts, our team can accommodate bespoke folding structures.
What resolution is best for wedding invitation artwork?
For sharp, crisp printed wedding invitations free of blurry script text or pixelated floral illustrations, 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, ruining the refined look of formal wedding stationery.
What paper materials are available for wedding invitations?
Your paper choice depends on wedding theme, elegance level, budget and mailing needs:
Matte coated art card: Soft non-reflective surface with balanced colour reproduction, ideal for classic formal weddings.
Gloss coated art card: Vibrant shiny finish perfect for bright, colourful tropical or modern wedding designs.
Uncoated cotton textured paper: Luxury natural fibrous stock with soft tactile texture, the top pick for high-end romantic weddings.
Recycled kraft paper: Rustic eco-friendly brown stock for boho, countryside and outdoor wedding themes.
Linen textured premium card: Fine woven grain texture for timeless elegant wedding suites.
We also offer ultra-thick heavyweight rigid card for premium sturdy invites and thinner mailing-friendly paper to reduce postal weight cost.
What special finishes can I add to wedding invitations?
Multiple premium finishing upgrades are available to elevate wedding invitations: soft-touch matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV varnish, gold/silver/rose gold foil stamping, embossing/debossing, custom die-cut shapes, edge painting (colored painted card edges), letterpress indent printing and rounded soft corners. Lamination adds slight water resistance for mailed invites; textured and metallic finishes bring luxury to formal wedding stationery suites.
What is the minimum order quantity for wedding invitations?
Our standard minimum order quantity for basic flat or folded wedding invitations is 30 pieces. For fully custom die-cut invites or premium luxury finishes such as hot foil, letterpress and embossing, a higher minimum MOQ may apply. Contact our sales team for discounted bulk pricing for large guest lists and bundled packages including RSVP cards, place cards and thank-you notes.
How long does wedding invitation printing take?
Our standard turnaround time for wedding invitations is 5–7 business days from digital proof approval. We offer expedited rush production options for urgent wedding timelines with faster delivery timelines available upon request. Cards with multiple luxury finishes (foil + emboss + edge paint) require extended production lead time.
