Special Paper Stocks

 
 
  • Truly ECO - Recycled Content (70-80%)

    Our Truly ECO recycled content stock is a bit softer than standard paper. Our recycled paper content is 70-80%--most other replicators claim recycled paper and then deliver about 20% (the same as our standard paper stock). The standard weight for our Truly ECO recycled content stock is 305gsm (or about 14pt/82#).

  • Fiberboard - End of Chain Material, Pulp, Unbleached

    Fiberboard is a great brown paper with a natural look to it. There are some restrictions to printing on fiberboard—it has a much higher ink absorption rate than standard paper, and also lends its own color to the ink that is applied on top of it. Press proofs are generally recommended for any project that might not print as the client expects on fiberboard. Generally it is not recommended to print photos on fiberboard as it will alter the colors. The standard weight for our fiberboard stock is 310gsm (or about 15pt/87#).

  • Uncoated Stock for a Natural Texture

    Uncoated paper has a lovely natural, matte finish. It does have a higher ink absorption rate than standard paper, although not nearly as much as fiberboard. The standard weight for our uncoated stock is 310gsm (or about 15pt/87#).

  • Standard Stock (up to 20% recycled content)

    Our standard paper stock is up to 20% recycled content, and is definitely a bit more sturdy than our Truly ECO recycled content stock. The standard weight for our standard stock is 310gsm (or about 15pt/87#).

  • Extra thick Paper Stocks

    Extra thick paper is available in all stocks, this can really help beef up your packaging. Up to 400gsm (or about 21pt/110#).

  • Book Binding Style - Chipboard w/ Paper Wrap

    Chipboard w/ a printed paper wrap is great for the vintage look—this is what was used for old vinyl LPs up through the '60s. Our chipboard comes in a variety of thicknesses—from 0.7mm to 2mm. Generally we recommend a 150gsm paper wrap (about 7.3pt/40#).
