Question
What paper and finish choices impact design effectiveness?
Answer
Material is part of the design. The same layout reads differently depending on the stock and finish you print it on.
| Choice | Effect |
|---|---|
| Heavier stock (up to 32pt) | Communicates premium quality and durability |
| Textured or uncoated paper | Adds tactile interest and a crafted feel |
| Spot UV | Draws the eye to a logo or key element with contrast |
| Foil stamping | Signals luxury and catches the light on accents |
The right combination depends on your brand positioning and what your audience expects to feel when they pick it up.
