Polar Matte 230 Greeting Cards Details & Information

Description
Product Name Change

60b. Polar Matte is now Polar Matte 230. The same paper - new name. We are changing names to reflect the metric weight instead of pound weight. You will see this change throughout our product line.

Red River Paper Polar Matte greeting cards combine professional photo quality with the practicality needed for card making. Cut to size and pre-scored for easy, clean folding, these cards feature the same Polar Matte surface trusted by photographers and artists.

The soft white, non-reflective matte finish delivers excellent ink holdout and smooth tonal detail on the front, while the plain paper back is ideal for printing messages, text, or light graphics on the inside. The substantial 230gsm weight gives each card a high-end feel that stands up to handling, mailing, and display.

Benefits:
  • Pre-scored for easy folding and professional presentation
  • Soft white matte surface with excellent ink holdout
  • Non-reflective finish keeps focus on image detail
  • Plain paper back for printing text or light graphics
Good to know:
  • Ultra-smooth, non-reflective matte surface
  • Bright white tone
  • Compatible with both pigment and dye inks
  • Acid-free base stock and coating
  • No logos or markings on the back
