What are the inside paper options for perfect bound books?

Updated this week

We offer a wide range of premium inside paper options. Here's what you should know when choosing:

  • 80lb Gloss Text – Light and smooth with a shiny finish. Great for designs with lots of photos.

  • 100lb Gloss Text – Slightly thicker and glossier. Ideal for high-color, image-heavy books.

  • 80lb Silk Text – A soft, smooth feel without the shine. Professional and modern.

  • 100lb Silk Text – Thicker with the same silky, non-reflective finish. Easy to write on.

  • 100lb Cougar Uncoated – Bright white and uncoated. Great for readability and writing.

  • 80lb Recycled Matte – Eco-friendly with a natural matte look.

  • 80lb Mohawk Superfine Ultrawhite Smooth – Our most premium stock. Elegant and natural with a tactile, uncoated feel.
