Can I mix paper types within a single bound project?

Yes, mixing paper types within one bound project is common and often a deliberate design choice. Many customers pair a heavier cover with lighter interior pages so the finished piece feels substantial without paying for heavy stock throughout.

• Covers: a heavier stock, often 14pt or 16pt, gives the piece structure and a premium feel.
• Interior pages: a lighter text-weight paper keeps the book easy to flip through and controls cost.
• Special sections: a coated insert can be dropped in for photo-heavy pages within an otherwise uncoated book.

This mix works especially well for perfect-bound catalogs and wire-bound training manuals. Just note your paper preferences for each section when you set up the order so the bindery matches stock to purpose.
