What is paper stock?

Paper stock refers to the material that is used to create paper. The paper stock can impact the weight of the paper, the thickness of the paper, the texture of the paper and what the paper can be used for.

Paper stocks and paper finishes are big factors to consider when finalising your material for print. Paper stock will impact your final printed material in a number of ways, including: how usable the material is; whether it is readable; the perceived quality of the printed material, and the overall cost – and your potential profit margin.

With our guide to paper stocks and book printing services you will be able to see and feel the different paper options, along with understanding their different uses and impact on your finished printed material – whether that is a mono novel, a training manual with colour diagrams or a marketing leaflet.
