Paper Stocks

Please contact us for samples of the different paper stocks we use in the production of books. These paper stocks have been thoroughly tested by our production team and feel they allow for good copy quality at a competitive price. Please note, the heavier the weight of paper, the more opacity there is on double sided pages (the reverse page not showing through). The underlined weights are the standard choices.

Interested in Something Else?

We are certainly able to bring in other paper stocks from our suppliers. Should you require a certain colour for your text pages or a little heavier cover stock anything is possible - we'd be happy to help you figure out your options.

Keep in mind, however, that your book cost will increase as we will not be volume purchasing with the distributor.
