Question
What is the difference between Gloss and Uncoated cover stock?
Answer
The main difference is the surface coating and the look it gives your print. Gloss reflects light for a vivid, polished result, while uncoated cover has no shine and reads as natural and understated.
| Stock | Surface | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Gloss Cover | Shiny, reflective | Vibrant color, photos, a professional polished look |
| Uncoated Cover | Matte, no shine | A natural, subtle feel and easy writing surface |
Pick gloss when color vibrancy and a premium sheen matter most. Pick uncoated when you want a soft, organic look or need to write on the card.
