Question
What paper stock works best for funeral printing?
Answer
For funeral programs and memorial cards, a heavier, dignified stock feels most appropriate and stands up to handling during the service. The finish sets the tone as much as the weight does.
| Choice | Effect |
|---|---|
| 16pt and above | Substantial, respectful weight that holds up in hand |
| Matte finish | Understated and dignified, easy to read with no glare |
| Gloss finish | Makes photographs rich and vivid |
- Programs: a matte 16pt reads cleanly and feels solemn.
- Photo memorial cards: gloss brings portraits to life.
- Uncoated stocks: a soft, warm look for a more personal keepsake.
Match the finish to the tone of the service, then order a sample if you want to feel the weight before printing the full quantity.
