Uses of Matte Coated Paper

Product Packaging

Matte coated paper labels can be used for product packaging. The matte texture gives a sense of luxury and sophistication, making it particularly suitable for cosmetics, luxury foods, handmade products, and other items where design and brand image are important.

Alcohol Labels

Matte coated paper labels are also suitable for alcohol labels due to their similar texture to high-quality paper. The unique texture of the paper can enhance the brand's luxury feel and add value to the product.

Correction Stickers

Matte coated correction stickers are whiter compared to high-quality greyish correction stickers. This makes the corrections less noticeable. (Correction stickers increase opacity by making the adhesive side grey to prevent the base from showing through.) If the correction area is white, matte coated correction stickers are recommended.

Differences Among the Three Types of Coated Paper

Coated paper comes in three types: Matte Coated Paper, Mirror Coated Paper, and Art Coated Paper. Since many people may be unsure about which material to choose, here are the features and differences of each type.

Matte Coated Paper

Matte coated paper has a matte finish. It is similar to high-quality paper but is whiter than high-quality paper. Compared to mirror and art coated paper, the print colors appear slightly darker. If you are looking for pure white paper with a unique texture, matte coated paper is recommended.

Mirror Coated Paper

Mirror coated paper has a glossy finish. This paper is generally used for colorful images and photos in printed materials and advertisements. The surface of mirror coated paper reflects light like a mirror, providing vivid colors and high contrast. It has high color reproducibility and is characterized by clear printing of photos and illustrations.

Art Coated Paper

Art coated paper has a semi-gloss finish. It does not reflect like mirror coated paper. Art coated paper is used for a wide range of applications such as printed materials, magazines, catalogs, and pamphlets. It is often chosen when vividness and contrast are desired over mirror coated paper.
