What are the different coating options for my cards?

High-Gloss (U.V.) - High-Gloss (U.V.) coating is a high-gloss coating applied to the printed paper surface and dried on press with ultraviolet light. It is not recommended for products you need to write on.

Matte - Matte coating is a water-based coating that has a less shiny finish and it can be written on with a ballpoint pen.

C1S (Gloss Front, Uncoated Back) - Treated with a gloss coating on one side while the other side is left with no coating, allowing you to write on it or print on it with an inkjet printer.

Uncoated - This is really a paper type rather than a coating option. Our reply cards are printed on 14pt uncoated stock allowing you to write on both sides.
