The choice between glossy or matte coating is strictly personal: there are those who prefer the paper to have a more natural surface, in which case they opt for matte, or those who prefer a slightly glossy surface, similar to common photographs ( although the effect is less pronounced). Statistically, the majority of customers choose the glossy finish.

It depends on the product you intend to print. For flyers, intended for a common flyer-distribution activity, we recommend a weight of 90 or 135 g, which guarantees the best quality/price ratio. Higher weights are recommended for representative products.

For business cards the standard is 300g paper, possibly with a UV finish on the surface.
