Size Matters: Tailor-Made Dimensions

- Generous Maximum Width: Up to 26 inches to accommodate larger designs.
- Versatile Maximum Height: Reach up to 18 inches for impactful vertical formats.
Quality and Quantity: No Compromises
Whether you require a small, exclusive run or a large-scale distribution, our commitment to quality remains unwavering. We guarantee high-quality results across all order sizes. To ensure your complete satisfaction, we offer a complimentary PDF proof. This crucial step allows you to meticulously review and approve every detail of your design before it goes to print, giving you confidence that the final product will meet your exact specifications.
Creative Combinations: Materials and Finishes
Elevate your printed materials from ordinary to extraordinary with our diverse selection of paper stocks and premium coatings. A meticulously chosen combination creates a lasting first impression, reflecting the quality and attention to detail of your brand.
Prime Paper Stock Options:
- 70 lb. Paper Uncoated: Our lightest paper option, featuring a writable surface for added functionality. Ideal for forms or notepads.
- 80 lb. Paper: Offering a familiar weight and feel similar to standard copy paper, this stock provides a balance of flexibility and resilience. Suitable for flyers and brochures.
- 100 lb. Paper: The heaviest paper stock we offer, providing a substantial and premium feel. Despite its thickness, it remains practical for distribution. Excellent for high-quality brochures and promotional materials.
Cardstock for Durability and Impact:
- 10 pt Cardstock: The lightest cardstock option, offering enhanced durability over paper. Well-suited for double-sided printing and displays, both indoors and outdoors.
- 14 pt Cardstock: A popular choice for robust and long-lasting products like business cards and postcards. Provides a professional and sturdy feel.
- 16 pt Cardstock: Our thickest and most premium cardstock, ideal for marketing materials targeting discerning clients or promoting luxury brands. Offers exceptional durability and a high-end impression.
Protective & Premium Coatings: Enhance and Protect
Coatings are the secret to adding visual appeal and protection to your prints. Applied to one or both sides, they can transform the look and feel of your product.
- Gloss Coating: Delivers a balanced, all-around shine that enhances colors and makes images and text pop. Its fingerprint-resistant surface makes it a practical choice for mailed items like postcards and brochures.
- Matte Coating: Imparts a sophisticated, smooth finish that exudes elegance. The subdued appearance reduces glare, improving readability, especially for text-heavy designs. Perfect for designs with pastel, neutral, or rustic aesthetics.
- High Gloss UV Coating: Amplifies shine beyond a standard gloss coating, creating a striking, ultra-glossy effect. Highly abrasion-resistant, it withstands frequent handling, making it ideal for items like hang tags and folders that are distributed and handled often.
- Uncoated Option: The optimal choice when a writable surface is essential. Paired with a 16 pt. cardstock, it achieves a luxurious feel while maintaining practicality. The natural, smooth surface ensures excellent readability for text-intensive designs.
Down to the Finest Detail: Finishing Touches
Take your custom printed products to the next level with finishing options that refine every aspect of your design.
- Folding: Organize information and create multi-panel designs with professional folding. Options include bi-fold (half fold), tri-fold, gate fold, and French fold, each offering unique layouts and functionalities. Explore detailed folding style descriptions here.
- Scoring: Essential for clean and crisp folds on thicker materials like cardstock. Scoring creates indented lines that guide folding for 2, 3, or 4-panel products. Note: Paper stocks do not require scoring. Cardstock orders with folding automatically include scoring. Scoring can be added to flat cardstock products, but they will be shipped unfolded.
- Rounded Corners: Add a touch of modern elegance and memorability with rounded corners. A ¼” radius corner softens edges, commonly used for business cards and hang tags to enhance visual appeal and tactile comfort.
- Hole Drilling: Add functionality by incorporating holes for strings, ribbons, or lanyards. Customize hole size and placement to suit your specific needs, perfect for tags, badges, or promotional items.
- Perforating: Create tear-off sections for coupons, response cards, or tickets within your flyers, brochures, or cards. Perforation adds interactive elements and increases customer engagement.
- Tabbing (Wafer Seals): Enhance protection and security for mailings. Wafer seals securely enclose the edges of unfolded papers, recommended for direct mail projects like brochures and booklets to ensure safe delivery.
- Shrink Wrapping: Streamline order management and provide extra protection during shipping. Shrink wrapping organizes your printed items into specific quantities or sets, simplifying distribution for large orders and safeguarding products from damage.
