This is our super thick 16pt paper coated on one side for a semi-gloss or full UV finish with an uncoated back perfect for writing if you need to.

C1S (Coated One Side) refers to postcards that are glossy on one side, while C2S (Coated Two Sides) has a glossy finish on both sides. C1S postcards are often used for designs that need vibrant colors on one side and a writable surface on the other.


Yes, you can print on both sides of the postcard, but keep in mind that only one side will have a coated finish. This means the front (coated side) is great for vibrant images, while the back (uncoated side) is better for writing or less glossy content.

YES, you can write on a C1S postcard! It's best to write on the uncoated side as it absorbs ink better. The glossy coated side may cause ink to smudge or take longer to dry.
