Card Stock Options and Paper Weights
The paper you choose for a folded card affects how it feels in hand, how it prints, and the impression it leaves. Teal Packaging offers a range of stocks to match every brand aesthetic and budget.
- Standard Art Card (300 gsm): A coated card stock that delivers sharp, vivid printing at a competitive price point. The most popular choice for e-commerce thank-you cards, product inserts, and promotional folded cards.
- Premium Matte Card (350 gsm): A heavier stock with a matte finish that feels substantial and premium. Excellent for brand-sensitive applications where tactile quality matters, such as luxury product packaging or high-end gift messaging.
- Uncoated Textured Card (300-350 gsm): A natural, tactile surface that suits artisan, handmade, or heritage brand aesthetics. Inks appear slightly softer, giving a warm, organic quality.
- Recycled or Kraft Card (280-350 gsm): For eco-focused brands, recycled content or kraft-toned card communicates sustainability at a glance and complements natural product packaging.
- High-Gloss Coated Card (300-350 gsm): Maximum print vibrancy for photographic images, vivid color palettes, or packaging where visual impact is the priority.
Customization for Every Brand and Occasion
Teal Packaging produces custom folded cards in a wide range of formats, finishes, and configurations so every card is exactly what your brand needs.
- Fold styles: Simple bifold (half-fold), tri-fold (letter fold), Z-fold, gate fold, or custom fold options to match the complexity of your message and design.
- Full-color CMYK printing: Inside and outside panels printed in rich, accurate color with consistent results across the entire run.
- Pantone spot color matching: Exact brand color reproduction for brands where color consistency is non-negotiable.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, or custom foil on logos, borders, or design accents elevates folded cards to luxury stationery territory.
- Soft-touch lamination: A silky matte coating that adds a premium tactile quality and subtle sheen.
- Embossing and debossing: Raised or recessed texture on key design elements adds a physical dimension that printed cards rarely achieve.
- Spot UV coating: Selective high-gloss finish over matte laminate creates depth and contrast that draws the eye to logos or featured artwork.
Free design support is available for every order.
Our team can build your card design from brand guidelines and a brief, or refine existing artwork to print-ready standards.

Sustainable Paper Choices for Responsible Brands
Teal Packaging sources card stocks through manufacturing partners committed to FSC-certified supply chains. All inks used in production are soy-based, reducing VOC emissions compared to conventional petroleum-based inks without any compromise on color quality or print performance.
Recycled content card options are available for brands with sustainability commitments, and all standard paper stocks are available with recyclable options by specification in standard paper recycling streams. This makes custom folded cards from Teal Packaging an easy choice for eco-conscious brands that want their print materials to align with their product and packaging values.
If you are building a complete sustainable unboxing experience, our folded cards pair naturally with our custom kraft boxes, our branded mailer boxes, and our custom gift boxes. Each product in our range meets the same FSC and soy-ink standards.
