Cover
Living up to its name, cover paper is a heavier weight, durable paper
used for book covers, tabs, folders, postcards, and business cards.
Cover stocks are available in a variety of finishes for offset printing:
• Coated one side (C1S)
• Coated two sides (C2S)
• Coated high gloss
• Uncoated
Some cover papers are too heavy for laser printing and copying.
These heavy cover stocks are not flexible enough to bend around
the curves of the paper path in some digital copier/printers.
Index
This is a rough, less expensive paper with poor formation. This stock
is characterized by stiffness and its receptivity to writing inks. Index
paper is used whenever an extremely durable, stiff, inexpensive
paper is required, such as for tabs, pocket folders, signs, or flip
charts.
Speciality materials
This category includes transparencies, pressure sensitive labels,
