HOW TO ORDER PAPER LIKE A PRO
Cover
Living up to its name, cover paper is a heavier weight, durable paper used for book covers, tabs, folders, postcards, and business cards.
Cover stocks are available in a variety of finishes for offset printing:
•
•
•
•
Coated one side (C1S)
Coated two sides (C2S)
Coated high gloss
Uncoated
Some cover papers are too heavy for laser printing and copying. These heavy cover stocks are not flexible enough to bend around the curves of the paper path in some digital copier/printers.
Index
This is a rough, less expensive paper with poor formation. This stock is characterized by stiffness and its receptivity to writing inks. Index paper is used whenever an extremely durable, stiff, inexpensive paper is required, such as for tabs, pocket folders, signs, or flip charts.
Speciality materials
This category includes transparencies, pressure sensitive labels, transfer paper, and more. Refer to the chart Types of Paper for more information on these materials.
