Supply Resources and Tips
Please note: the recommendations are based on my experience.
I'm not endorsing any of the products listed here.
Tips:
- Always "Print Preview" before printing.
- Always "Test Print" before printing on vellum or some other expensive paper.
Do a print in Draft mode, Grayscale to check for sizing.
- If possible, print at the highest quality setting.
- Let the ink dry before you start folding.
- I recommend you to use 8-1/2" by 11" or A4 cardstock paper.
None of my templates and printables are optimized for perforated or prescored paper.
Glue
What type of glue to use.
Paper trimmer
8-/2 x 11" Paper Trimmer
I have a Paper Trimmer and just trim away the white areas from each printout.
Paper Trimmer is not expensive at all and it's a good investment, especially
if you're into computer crafting like me :)
If you're using an X-ACTO knife, place the printed card stock (3-4 sheets) onto the cutting mat,
place a ruler onto the printouts and trim away the white areas.
(Rotary Knife works even better.)
Cover & Card Stock
GREAT FOR ALL CARDS, BOXES, BAGS, TAGS...
I recommend that you use heavy white card stock.
You can find this at your stationary store in a sheet ream.
For example:
Staples Card Stock (110Lb.) or (67Lb.) - 250/Pack
Hammermill Card Stock (110Lb.) - 100/Pack
Neusiedler Card Stock A4 (200g/m2.) - 250/Pack/Europe
Standard Paper
FOR WRAPPERS, ALL ENVELOPES & LISTS, STATIONERY
I use standard 20 or 24 pound printer paper (about 105 brightness).
A visitor to my free site suggested using HP's brochure and flyer paper (#C6817A; 50pk - $12.99)
for "shiny" wrappers.
Glossy paper produces very vibrant colors.
