Question
What are the differences between uncoated paper options for greeting cards?
Answer
Uncoated stocks all share a natural, non-glossy surface, but they differ in weight, texture, and how they take ink and handwriting. Those differences are easiest to judge by feel rather than description.
- Weight affects how rigid and substantial the card feels
- Texture ranges from smooth to lightly toothy, which changes how pens glide
- Shade and brightness shift how printed colors appear
The most reliable way to choose is to get a sample packet of uncoated papers and finishes, then compare them side by side against your design.
