About Premium Opaque Uncoated Booklets

 

Premium opaque uncoated booklets are printed on a thick, bright-white uncoated stock that delivers a refined, natural feel distinctly different from gloss or matte coated papers. The uncoated surface eliminates glare entirely, making text exceptionally easy to read under any lighting condition - ideal for publications where readability and a professional, understated appearance are the priority.

Available on 60lb or 70lb premium opaque stock, these booklets are the preferred choice for law firms, financial advisors, healthcare providers, real estate professionals, and academic institutions that want a polished publication without the reflective shine of coated paper.
