Re: Looking for 300 GSM greeting card?

Post by ATOJAR »

Hi all, as the title states im looking for glossy A4(or smaller)300 GSM inkjet greeting card paper with the pre-fold in place. We have smaller 300 GSM matt paper but only print pastel colours on it, they look and feel amazing but i can only find 260 GSM glossy paper with the pre- folded spine and they just dont feel the same as shop bought cards, feel a little flimsy actually, when we print on them they look amazing but just feel thin ... I have had a good Google around but cant seem to find anywhere.

Does anybody here have any recommendations on a site i could buy from please?

Thanks.

GSM is a measure of density, not thickness. It all depends on how tightly the card fibres are packed, hence some cards feeling more 'floppy' than others, even though they are the same GSM. This is why 650gsm magnetic sheets can pass through my Canon Pixma printer.

You really need to be contacting suppliers that give samples if you are planning on using cards for business purposes.

I recently ordered sample card from www.thepaperbox.co.uk might be worth a look to see if they have what you’re looking for.
