Why Choose Art Paper
Art Paper — The Premium Coated Paper for Maximum Color Brilliance and Detail Reproduction
Art paper — also called coated art paper or art board — is a double-sided clay-coated paper that provides the smoothest, most consistent printing surface in standard packaging substrates. The heavy clay coating on both sides fills the paper fiber surface completely, creating a near-flat surface that allows halftone dots to print at their exact size without dot gain — producing the finest detail reproduction and widest color gamut of any standard packaging paper.
Art paper is the substrate for premium packaging where maximum visual impact is the design objective. Cosmetic packaging, luxury food products, premium gift packaging, and brand identity applications where photographic image quality at small scale is required all benefit from art paper's exceptional print performance.
Art Paper Gloss vs Matte: Two Different Premiums
Gloss art paper provides the maximum color intensity — the heavy clay coating reflects light uniformly, maximizing apparent color saturation. Matte art paper uses a coarser clay coating that scatters light, reducing surface gloss while maintaining the fine halftone resolution that distinguishes art paper from uncoated stocks. Matte art paper achieves the sophisticated non-reflective aesthetic associated with luxury brands while maintaining the precise color reproduction that brand management requires.
Art Paper Weight Selection
Art paper for packaging is available from 115gsm (thin, for labels and light folding applications) to 350gsm+ (thick, for premium hang tags, business cards, and heavy-format packaging). For folding carton applications, 250-300gsm art board is the typical specification — thick enough to provide structural integrity in standard retail carton dimensions while maintaining the print quality advantage of art paper.
Custom Packaging for South Carolina's Growing Economy
South Carolina's economy has transformed dramatically — it now hosts BMW's largest global manufacturing plant, Boeing's 787 assembly facility, Volvo's North American manufacturing, and a growing technology sector centered in Greenville and Columbia. Charleston has become one of America's most celebrated food and tourism cities. This diverse, growing economy creates demand for packaging across automotive, aerospace, luxury, and consumer categories.
Charleston Luxury and Food Brand Packaging
Charleston is one of America's most charming and culinary-celebrated cities, with a thriving luxury tourism economy and a nationally recognized restaurant and artisan food scene. Packaging for Charleston food brands, luxury retail, and tourism gift products must communicate the city's historic elegance and culinary sophistication.
Greenville Automotive and Manufacturing Packaging
Greenville-Spartanburg has become one of the Southeast's most important manufacturing centers, with BMW, Michelin, GE Aviation, and hundreds of supplier companies. Industrial packaging for automotive components, aerospace parts, and manufacturing supplies for the Upstate South Carolina manufacturing corridor from 50 units.
South Carolina Beach and Tourism Packaging
Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and the Carolina coast drive significant tourism packaging demand for beach retail, resort merchandise, and coastal food brands. Seasonal packaging programs for South Carolina's coastal tourism economy are a regular program type.

Art Paper Packaging in South Carolina — FAQs
What is the difference between art paper and standard coated board?
Art paper has heavier clay coating applied to both sides, creating a smoother, more consistent print surface than standard coated board. This results in less dot gain, more accurate halftone reproduction, wider color gamut, and finer detail resolution.
Is art paper food-safe?
Art paper in food-safe grades with food-contact certified clay coatings and inks is available for food packaging applications.
Can art paper be used for folding carton production?
Yes. Art board in 250-350gsm weights is used for premium folding cartons requiring the highest print quality. The clay coating makes art board less fold-tolerant than SBS board at equivalent weight — score lines must be precisely placed and the board may require cracking/pre-cracking to fold cleanly.
What finishes work best on art paper?
Gloss lamination over gloss art paper creates maximum color brilliance. Matte lamination or soft-touch lamination over matte art paper creates the premium matte aesthetic. UV coating is also commonly applied to art paper for protection and additional gloss enhancement.
What is the minimum order for art paper packaging?
Art paper packaging starts at 100 units.
