Natural Brown Kraft

Natural Brown Kraft is a brown, uncoated, rough-surfaced paper. Printed ink colors may be impacted.

  • Standard/stock basis weight is 60# to 70#
  • High ink absorption in paper surface
  • Fine details in printed images may be lost
  • All uncoated papers yield loss of ink color vibrancy -- as a result, a PMS "C" (coated) may be selected for a desired color match versus PMS "U" (uncoated), yielding a brighter/cleaner color target

Bleached White Kraft

Bleached White Kraft is a white, uncoated paper with a slightly smoother surface than our Natural Brown Kraft. Bleached White Kraft will not impact printed ink colors.

  • Standard/stock basis weight is 60# to 70#
  • High ink absorption in paper surface
  • Fine details in printed images may be lost
  • All uncoated papers yield loss of ink color vibrancy -- as a result, a PMS "C" (coated) may be selected for a desired color match versus PMS "U" (uncoated), yielding a brighter/cleaner color target

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is a tan, uncoated paper with a moderately smooth surface. Printed ink colors may be impacted. This paper is available only on special orders.

  • Standard/stock basis weight (special order)
  • Moderate ink absorption in paper surface
  • Fine details in printed images may be lost (although not as much as with Brown and White Kraft)
  • All uncoated papers yield loss of ink color vibrancy -- as a result, a PMS "C" (coated) may be selected for a desired color match versus PMS "U" (uncoated), yielding a brighter/cleaner color target

Flipside

Flipside is a smooth, uncoated paper made from linerboard that is white on one side and tan on the other. It has a heavy, sturdy feel. Printed ink colors on the tan side may be impacted.

  • Standard/stock basis weight is 78# only
  • Fine details in printed images may be lost
  • All uncoated papers yield loss of ink color vibrancy -- as a result, a PMS "C" (coated) may be selected for a desired color match versus PMS "U" (uncoated), yielding a brighter/cleaner color target

Tints

Come in either Natural Brown or Bleached White Kraft papers that have been colored with tinted ink prior to printing. Depending on the tint color and paper type, printed ink colors may be impacted.

  • Standard/stock basis weights are 60# to 70#
  • Printing characteristics slightly improve after tint ink color is applied
  • This is a value-added option alternative to high minimum beater dyed papers

White Claycoat

White Claycoat is a white, coated paper. The clay coating yields bright, vibrant colors and prevents ink absorption, maintaining fine details.

  • Standard/stock basis weight is 70# only

Synthetic

Synthetic paper is made from rich mineral materials that yield superior strength and a smooth, satin look and feel. In addition, synthetic paper is inherently waterproof. An outstanding printing surface, synthetic paper also affords no "cracking" on printed fold edges.

  • Basis weights of 118# (low) and 184# (high)
  • Offered in a wide variety of bag styles and sizes
  • Inside/outside printing
