Uncoated FSC stock

Used for: softer, more 'natural' looking cardboard and paper products

Run size: any

Uncoated FSC stock is a cardboard or paper stock that has not been polished (coated).

This is a popular finish for natural looking cardboard and paper products, and has been used on many Replicat gatefold wallets, digipacks and booklets.

The unpolished card surface results in more ink absorption than coated card / paper stocks, resulting in a less accurate print and darker, duller colours. This can be an intended and attractive effect, especially when printing line art designs onto a textured uncoated background.

There is no additional cost for printing the uncoated side of our standard FSC stock. We simply flip the C1S stock over and print the other side : )

The FSC standard refers to the Forestry Stewardship Council accreditation for sustainably sourced paper products.
