Core stocks

Four paper cores

The core paper sets the weight, opacity, and feel of every card. Choose from black-, blue-, white-, and gray-core stocks.

Black-core paper

A dark core keeps edges opaque and gives printed color a deep, solid base for darker card designs.

Blue-core paper

A blue core offers a cool tinted base that supports clean print density and a distinct, consistent card tone.

White-core paper

A white core provides a bright, neutral base for accurate color reproduction and crisp detail across the card face.

Gray-core paper

A gray core offers a balanced, mid-tone base that keeps printed images legible while controlling show-through.

Surface finishes

Protective and decorative finishes

Protection

Varnish and eco-friendly oil

Varnish adds a protective gloss layer to the printed surface. Environmentally friendly oil offers a softer, low-sheen coating for a tactile finish.

Protection

Lamination

A laminated film bonds to the card face to add durability and resistance to wear during repeated handling.

Decoration

Embossing

Embossing raises selected areas of the card to create a dimensional, tactile detail that reads clearly under the hand.

Decoration

Gold and silver foil stamping

Foil stamping applies metallic gold or silver to chosen elements, adding reflective accents that stand out against the printed surface.
