Question

What paper type should I choose for a matte finish heavy card stock?

Answer

For a matte look on a heavy card, choose an uncoated stock. Uncoated has no shine, and it is available in heavier weights that give you the thick, substantial feel you want.

  • Finish: uncoated cover, which reads as matte with a natural surface.
  • Weight: heavier options such as 14pt Uncoated Cover for a solid, premium card.
  • Bonus: uncoated is also easy to write on with pen.

If you want both matte and heavy, a thicker uncoated cover stock covers both requirements in one choice.
