Not Sure Which Cardstock to Choose?

SIGNATURE WHITE CARDSTOCK

Choose white cardstock if your design has a full background color, flood color, photo, watercolor artwork, or detailed full-color design. White cardstock gives printed colors the cleanest and most accurate base.

Best for:
Designs with photos, watercolor designs, and full-color artwork.

Good to know:
If your design includes a background color, choose white cardstock instead of colored cardstock. The background color will be printed directly onto the white paper.

--------

SIGNATURE CREAM CARDSTOCK

Choose cream cardstock for a softer, warmer look. It works best with classic, romantic, vintage, or neutral wedding designs.

Best for:
Traditional wedding suites, soft neutral palettes, vintage-inspired designs, and warm-toned artwork.

Good to know:
Because cream cardstock has a warm base, printed colors may appear slightly warmer than they would on white cardstock.

--------

COLORED CARDSTOCK

Choose colored cardstock when your design does not have a full background color. This is best for designs where the cardstock color itself becomes part of the final look.

Best for:
Minimalist designs, text-only designs, white ink printing, metallic ink printing, foil details, simple borders, and designs with transparent or no background.

Good to know:
Colored cardstock is not ideal for designs with a flood color or full background. If your artwork includes a full printed background, choose white cardstock instead.

--------

MATTE CARDSTOCK

Choose matte cardstock for a clean, smooth, modern finish with no shine.

Best for:
Minimalist designs, bold typography, modern wedding stationery, full-color artwork, and designs where readability is important.

Good to know:
Matte cardstock gives a more understated, classic look and is usually the most versatile option for printed wedding pieces.

--------

SHIMMER CARDSTOCK

Choose shimmer cardstock if you want a soft pearlescent finish that adds a subtle glow to your wedding pieces.

Best for:
Elegant invitations, menus, place cards, table numbers, romantic designs, and formal wedding stationery.

Good to know:
Shimmer cardstock has a slight reflective finish, so printed colors may appear a little softer or more luminous than they would on matte cardstock.
