Custom Coated Paper is full-color printed coated paper stock for brands that need wraps, liners, and inserts with a smooth, branded surface. It is custom-printed to your artwork.
A coated surface keeps ink sharp and colors true, so wraps and liners read as part of your packaging rather than an afterthought. Use it as printed sandwich wrap, a basket or box liner, or a tissue-style insert that reinforces your brand the moment a box is opened. One artwork file can supply liners across your whole product line for a consistent unboxing.

Coating Types and Bulk Paper Specification
Coated paper is defined by what the coating does. A clay coating raises print sharpness and color density; a polymer or wax barrier coating changes how the sheet resists moisture and grease. Coated one side is common for wraps and labels where only the print face matters, while coated two sides suits sheets that are seen from both faces.
| Sheets or rolls | Coating and gsm guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Small lot to test ink holdout and coating feel. |
| 500 | One gsm with a single coating specification. |
| 1,000 | Coated one side and two side versions compared. |
| 5,000 | Roll formats added alongside cut sheets. |
| 10,000+ | Converting supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Timing to plan for: about 7 business days on in-house eligible converting and about 12 weeks where a specialty imported grade is specified. Mill availability governs the wider case. Delivery inside the continental US is covered, worth noting on dense paper loads where shipping can rival material cost.
