Paper Coating Options

Learn about paper coating options such as high gloss UV to make your project stand out from the rest. Coated stocks make the surface more receptive for the reproduction of text and images in order to achieve sharper detail and improved color density. Coating can be applied on both sides of the stock (coated two sides, "C2S") or only on one side (coated one side, "C1S").

Paper Stock Options

Learn about paper stocks and what is best for your project from PrintPlace.com. As papers are graded by weight, one manufacturer's 100# text paper may seem slightly bulkier or thicker than a competitor's product. The basis weight refers to the weight in pounds of 500 sheets of paper when it has been cut to that paper's standard size.

Scoring and Perforation

Learn about custom scoring and perforation options you can add to your project through PrintPlace.com. Add scoring to create a crease in your finished piece to ensure that it folds easily and accurately once you recieve your finished order. This is most commonly seen on greeting cards, folded business cards, folded postcards, folded brochures printed on cover stocks, and table tents. You may decide to design your printed piece with perforations. Perforating refers to the finishing process of adding a straight horizontal or vertical perforation, which creates an area or portion of the piece for easy tear-off.
