Business Card Type

• Glossy 1 Side (14pt card stock):  a very thick coated card stock with high gloss UV coating on 1 side.  This allows one side to be very shiny and leaves the other side so you can write on.  UV Gloss is shiny clear coating that resembles a lamination and protects cards from scratches. It also enhances the density of colors to give photographs a rich look. However, you cannot write on UV gloss coating.  The other side has AQ gloss coating which protects the surface from dirt, smudges, fingerprints and scratch.
• Glossy 1 Side (16pt card stock):  an extremely thick coated card stock with high gloss UV coating on 1 side.  This allows one side to be very shiny and leaves the back side with matte AQ coating so you can write on.  UV Gloss is shiny clear coating that resembles a lamination and protects cards from scratches. It also enhances the density of colors to give photographs a rich look. However, you cannot write on UV gloss coating.
• Glossy 2 Sides (16pt card stock): an extremely thick coated card stock with high gloss UV coating on both sides.  UV Gloss is shiny clear coating that resembles a lamination and protects cards from scratches. It also enhances the density of colors to give photographs a rich look. However, you cannot write on UV gloss coating.
• Matte (16pt card stock):  an extremely thick coated card stock with matte AQ coating on both sides.  Matte is a AQ coating that allows people to write on both sides of the card. It gives a non-glossy, glare-free, flat look and looks great with images of texture.  However, it also makes colors look more muted and is more prone to scratches, especially with dark colors.
• Silk (16pt card stock):  an extremely thick coated card stock with silk lamination.  This makes the paper more flexible and soft to the touch,  providing a silky feel and texture that stands out from other paper-printed card stocks.  It is also tear and water resistant and shows off vibrant colors.
• Uncoated (14pt card stock):  a thick card stock that does not have any additional coating.  This card is the easiest to write on and will allow for stamps.  Stamps will be smeared on paper with gloss or matte coating.
