Everything you need to know about… C1S

Our C1S stands for “Coated 1 Side.” This means that the front side of the paper has a soft matte-like coating, while the back side remains uncoated. Its thickness is 18pt, which means it is a bit thicker than your standard business card paper and offers a nice contrast in texture from front to back. 

Everything You Need To Know About… Spot UV

Whether you are using regular Spot UV or Raised Spot UV, this is a clear gloss that is applied to set areas of your choosing. Unlike Full Gloss that covers the entire surface of the card, this can be applied over small or larger areas – giving an extra dimension and contrast to the artwork.
