What material and finish should I choose?

The best material and finish depend on how and where your product will be used.
Start with your use case
Choose based on how you plan to use the product:
- Indoor use
Paper or lightweight materials are usually sufficient - Outdoor use
Choose durable materials like vinyl or plastic for weather resistance - Frequent handling
Go with stronger or laminated materials for added durability
Choose your finish
Finishes affect how your design looks:
- Matte — soft, non-reflective, easy to read
- Glossy — vibrant, reflective, makes colors pop
- Specialty finishes — premium effects (available on select products)
What if I want a premium look?
For a more premium feel:
- Choose thicker or more rigid materials
- Consider specialty finishes when available
