When you are looking to order leaflet printing , there are many types of paper to choose from. It can be confusing to some people about what type of paper is best, after all cheap leaflets is one thing but if you order the wrong paper it can have a costly effect on your business.

There are 2 primary types of paper:

Gloss

Matt

In most trades such as plumbers, builders etc matt bond can deliver the message of your company in a coast effective manner. Sure you can use glossy leaflets but in all fairness matt bond will deliver just as well.

For companies operating in the retail environment, gloss is often best.This includes companies such as professional services – Accountants, Solicitors and the like.

Ultimately its down to you, the message in this article is to keep an open mind on the type of paper you choose.
