FAQs
What is the weight of the paper?
The paper is 80 gsm (grams per square meter), which is a moderate weight suitable for most crafting applications.
Can I use this paper for inkjet printing?
This paper is not designed for inkjet or laser printing. The glossy coating can cause ink to smudge or smear, and the paper may not feed correctly through printers.
How many different designs are included?
Each pack includes 100 sheets featuring 12 different designs.
What are the dimensions of each sheet?
Each sheet measures 32 x 48 cm.
Is the paper colored on both sides?
No, the front of the paper features bright colors with a gloss sheen, while the back is plain white.
What type of glue works best?
Standard craft glues, double-sided tape, or glue sticks work well. For optimal adhesion on the glossy surface, consider using a glue specifically formulated for non-porous materials.
How should I store the paper to keep it in good condition?
Store the paper flat in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to preserve its colors and glossy finish.
Troubleshooting
Adhesive not sticking well to the glossy surface.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a strong craft adhesive specifically designed for glossy or non-porous surfaces. Test a small area first.
Paper tears when folded.
For cleaner folds, lightly score the paper with a bone folder or the back of a craft knife before creasing. Avoid sharp, forceful folds which can crack the gloss.
Colors appear dull under certain lighting.
The glossy finish is designed to reflect light. Ensure consistent lighting when viewing or presenting projects. Avoid placing in areas with excessive glare if uniformity is critical.
Printer smudging or jamming.
This paper is not intended for use in most standard printers due to its glossy coating and weight. It is best suited for cutting, adhering, and manual crafting.
