As the holiday season approaches, it's time to create, print, and send out your heartfelt greeting cards to friends and family. While choosing the right size, matching envelopes, and determining the quantity might seem straightforward, selecting the correct paper thickness and finish can be a daunting task. However, fear not, because we've discovered a paper stock that never disappoints: the 15pt C1S greeting card. Opting for this option will not only simplify your life but also ensure your holiday greeting cards look and feel absolutely fabulous.
What Does C1S Stand For?
Before delving into why 15pt C1S greeting cards are so fantastic, it's essential to understand what C1S means. C1S stands for 'coated one side,' indicating that the paper stock has a coating on one side while the other remains uncoated. This coating on one side provides a smooth surface for printing, preventing or slowing down ink absorption.
Selecting the right size, envelope, and quantity is relatively straightforward. However, choosing the correct paper thickness and finish can be a bit trickier.
The Unparalleled Benefits of 15pt C1S Greeting Cards
Our most sought-after option, the 15pt C1S greeting card, is sure to leave your friends and family in awe. Here's why:
Unique Textures: When you choose our 15pt C1S greeting cards, you get the best of both worlds – a coated exterior for a variety of finishes, from semi-gloss to matte, and an uncoated interior that offers a natural look and feel. This uncoated interior allows recipients to focus on the heartfelt message inside rather than being distracted by an overly fancy finish.
Easy to Write On: Thanks to the uncoated interior of 15pt C1S greeting cards, they are incredibly easy to write on. Whether you prefer using a pen, pencil, or even a feather dipped in ink, you'll have no trouble jotting down your warm wishes inside the card.
Enhance Your Design With a Finish: Elevate the visual appeal of your greeting card design by adding one of our finishes. Here are some options we offer:
- Silk Matte: This luxurious finish provides your greeting card with a silky look and feel, making it perfect for illustrated cards.
- Semi-Gloss: Add a subtle gloss to your greeting cards with this finish, ideal for photographs and vibrant designs.
- Sandy Matte: Create a sandy texture on your greeting cards with our sandy matte finish, a timeless favorite.
- Gloss: While a high gloss finish may be visually appealing, it can be prone to fingerprints. We recommend sticking with a matte finish but offer a semi-gloss option for those who desire a glossy look.
The Perfect Thickness: We always recommend a 15pt thickness for all greeting cards. This thickness strikes the perfect balance between durability and bulkiness, ensuring your cards fit perfectly into envelopes. Many cheaper greeting cards are typically 10pt to 12pt, often appearing flimsy and lacking in quality.
With the holiday season fast approaching, choosing 15pt C1S greeting cards is a surefire way to impress your loved ones with elegant, high-quality greetings that they'll cherish. So, simplify your card-making process and make this festive season truly special with our exceptional greeting cards.
Whether you're sending greeting cards to your friends, family, or colleagues, it is always a thoughtful gesture to let people know you're thinking of them.
