Question
What paper stocks can I choose for CD Covers?
Answer
4OVER4.COM offers several stock options for CD covers, so you can match the feel to the release. The specs section on the product page lists every available paper type with its weight and coating.
| Stock type | Look and feel |
|---|---|
| Coated gloss | Crisp, saturated cover art, vivid photos and punchy color; hides fingerprints better |
| Coated matte | Softer, more artistic finish |
| Uncoated | Natural, writable surface, great for folk, acoustic or minimalist designs |
| Heavier weights | Feel more premium in hand and resist curling inside the case |
- Matte and uncoated read as more understated; gloss makes color pop.
- If you are unsure, a mid-weight coated stock is the safe default for most cover designs.
- Compare paper samples in hand before you commit to a run.
