Question
What paper stock works best for brochures?
Answer
The best brochure stock depends on the content and the impression you want to make. Match the coating to how photo-heavy or text-heavy the piece is.
- Glossy coated stock: best for photo-driven brochures like restaurant menus and travel guides, since it makes color pop.
- Matte coated stock: ideal for text-heavy, professional brochures where readability and low glare matter.
- Uncoated stock: gives a natural, writable feel that suits nonprofits and educational materials.
| Content type | Recommended stock |
|---|---|
| Photography and menus | Glossy coated |
| Corporate and informational | Matte coated |
| Nonprofit and educational | Uncoated |
