A strong design deserves more than ink on paper. The stock and finish you choose can completely transform how your print is received, adding depth, professionalism and even emotion. Think of it as the difference between a design that looks good on-screen and one that feels premium in the hand.
At WTTB, every product comes with paper and lamination options built into the configurator. Whether you’re designing wedding invitations, eco-friendly flyers or luxury packaging inserts, this guide explains each option in plain English so you can make confident choices.
The stock you select is the foundation of your print. Here’s how the most popular options compare:
Silk coated has a smooth, slightly shiny surface that holds colour beautifully. It’s vibrant, professional and ideal for flyers, menus, brochures and leaflets.
Uncoated offers a soft, matte finish that’s easy to write on and perfect for notepads, letterheads and clean, modern brands.
Kraft is brown, textured and made from recycled materials. It gives a natural, earthy feel and works well for eco-friendly packaging, menus and boutique branding.
Polar, Oyster and Gesso are specialist stocks. Sirio Pearl has a subtle shimmer that feels elegant, while Gesso has a textured, art-paper quality. Both are perfect for wedding stationery, luxury cards and high-end gift vouchers.

For many products, you can add a laminate to change the final look and feel.
When you want to add texture or highlight details, embellishments make the difference.
Spot UV adds a glossy shine to chosen areas of your design, creating subtle contrast.
Scodix works in a similar way but with a raised finish for a more tactile effect. Available in clear, it’s often used for logos, headlines or accents.
Gold and silver Scodix simulate traditional foiling at a lower cost. They add a classic metallic look to premium wedding invitations, gift cards and branded packaging.
For wedding invitations and stationery, the right stock and finish elevate the design. With WTTB you can:
The result is stationery that doesn’t just look good — it feels magical.

With the right stock and finish, your print goes beyond looking good — it makes the right impression.
What’s the best paper for flyers or menus? Silk is vibrant and durable; kraft is ideal for rustic or eco styles.
