The stocks we run daily, with the honest use case for each. Full swatch book ships free with any sample pack.
| Stock | Use it for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| 350–400 gsm C1S board | Light board books, covers, cards | Cracks on heavy folds — score first |
| Greyboard 1.0–2.5 mm (FSC) | Board book interiors, rigid box walls | Thicker = fewer spreads per book |
| 128–157 gsm art paper | Mounted board pages, image-heavy interiors | Shows fingerprints; laminate spreads |
| 80–120 gsm uncoated offset | Workbooks, coloring, text pages — erase-friendly | Flat color photos lose punch |
| 250–300 gsm C1S cover | Paperback covers, cartons, bags | Needs spine scoring when perfect-bound |
| 150–250 gsm kraft | Natural-look bags, covers, wrap | Mutes color; design for it |
