My go to!

John Gochis, Feb 26, 2026

I use this paper exclusively for customers who want beautiful prints for a low price. Holds color very well and has never let me down.

Very satisfied customer

Louis Rabinowitz, Feb 02, 2026

I've been enjoying printing cards on this stock. They are of the same matte quality as the 8x10 papers I use to print my photos. They are very easy to fold and make a nice visual and tactile presentation.

Smooth finish - great quality

irnart, Jan 19, 2026

I am very happy with the quality of this paper, I use it for my sticker and keychain packaging. It prints beautifully and it has just the right weight for the backing cards and bag toppers. 10/10 would recommend
