Please let us know how many printed pages there are in your publication.
This is the number of 'sides' for instance, if you have an A4 piece of paper folded in half, there will be 4 'sides'.
Paper/ Materials
We offer standard paper in coated or uncoated in a variety of weights from 80gsm up to 400gsm in uncoated and 100gsm-400gsm in coated papers.
Uncoated
Uncoated papers are suitable for writing on for forms or black & white printing. If your design has a lot of imagery/ ink coverage then we would usually recommend coated papers. Uncoated is sometimes referred to as being 'Matt'
Coated
Coated papers are more suited to publications that include a lot of imagery/ ink coverage and come in a silk or a gloss finish. Silk (or satin) has a slightly shiny finish, Gloss has a more 'glossy' finish. Coated papers are always slightly thinner than uncoated papers, despite being the same weight.

Mid-weight flyers/leaflets/booklets 130gsm-170gsm silk/gloss
