Learn about white cardboard coated paper

White Cardboard Coated Paper is a type of paper that comes with a coating. This coating fills in the spaces between the paper's fibers to make it more smooth and less absorbent. It also improves its brightness and printing properties.
Pantone Matching System
Whether you're printing a business card or a Mindnotes cover, you'll have to pick the right type of paper. That's why we recommend using the Pantone Matching System to help you decide what type of paper to choose.
Coated papers have a coating that enhances the brightness of colours, increases the smoothness and decreases the ink absorbency. This means that colours will be more vibrant, and your printed design will be more durable and long-lasting.
Uncoated papers don't have a coating, which makes them rougher and more absorbent than coated paper. This type of paper is used for making items that will be used everyday, such as notebooks or novels.
Different kinds of paper boards are available for printing, including Clay Coated Board (CRB/CCNB) and Solid Bleached Sulfate Board (SBS). CRB / CCNB is a recycled white one-sided paperboard with a grey or brown back side. It's typically less expensive than SBS and is also available in a variety of finishes.
The white base of the paperboard ensures that colors will display vividly when printed with offset printing inks. It is a great choice for packaging, such as cereal boxes, cosmetics, medicine, small electronics, snack foods and automotive parts.
