What is the Best Paper for Christmas Crafts?


It is not too late to get some Christmas printing done for Christmas. The heaviest printing season is coming up next week with last minute preparations, list, gifts, etc.  By now we've shared some printing options such as greeting cards but without paper it would be impossible to get anything printed. Have you wondered what kind of paper you need for the different Christmas printables? Well there are many types of paper and the following are some options for your crafts.

For photo crafts, ornaments with photos, recipes with photos, photo calendars etc. the obvious option is to use special photo paper there are two options laser photo paper and inkjet photo paper and the difference lays on the ink absorbing capabilities one is a liquid ink and the other a powder toner that is heated into the paper.

Here is our suggestion:
HP Original (OEM) High Gloss Premium Plus Inkjet Photo Paper (4" x 6") (60 Sheets/Pkg) (Q1978A)
For card stock or harder paper use in the case of Christmas boxes, gift tags, decorations etc., it is important to choose from a matte finish or a glossy type of paper depending on the type of project at hand. The perfect paper is the one intended for flyer or marketing materials.

Here you have two more suggestions:
Epson Original (OEM) Matte Heavyweight Inkjet Paper (13" x 19") (50 Sheets/Pkg) (S041263)
HP Original (OEM) Two-Sided Matte Everyday Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5" x 11") (100 Sheets/Pkg) (C7007A)

Other types of Christmas printing that don’t need special paper are list, maps, letters, ornament templates and any other templates. Simple Laser Jet paper or inkjet paper is perfect and getting it for less is also a good idea.

Here is our suggestion:
Matte Coated Inkjet Paper (Weight 135G)(A4)(100 Sheets per Package)
