Double-side coated art paper, also known as C2S coated art paper or GC2 coated board, is a high-quality printing paper featuring fine coating layers on both the front and back surfaces. In contrast to single-side coated paper, it offers identical smoothness, whiteness, and gloss on both sides, ensuring consistent and excellent printing results across the sheet. Made from high-quality bleached wood pulp base paper with a uniform fiber structure, its compact and flat surface coating delivers extremely high smoothness, good ink absorption, and stable color reproduction.
Thanks to its high brightness and glossiness, double-side coated art paper produces bright, vivid, delicate, and clear color-printed patterns, text, and images. It performs exceptionally well in offset printing, flexographic printing, laminating, UV printing, and hot stamping processes. Additionally, it possesses proper stiffness, good folding resistance, and stable die-cutting properties, making it resistant to cracking, deformation, or powdering during post-processing.
This paper is widely used in high-end advertising materials, brochures, magazines, flyers, posters, book covers, greeting cards, packaging box cover paper, and various premium commercial printing products. Common available grammages include 128 gsm, 157 gsm, 200 gsm, 250 gsm, and 300 gsm. Our GC2 fully complies with your definition, meaning both sides are coated with premium coating layers.
