Paper Options
To create a cooking card deck that can withstand the heat, spills, and frequent handling in the kitchen, picking the right material is essential. At QinPrinting, we use exclusively professional-grade cardstock and coatings. Our most popular options include:
| Paper | Weight | Thickness (mm) | Thickness (pt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Cardstock | 250gsm | 0.28mm | 11pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 300gsm | 0.36mm | 14pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 350gsm | 0.405mm | 16pt |
| Black Core Paper | 310gsm | 0.325mm | 13pt |
Surface Finishes and Enhancements
Because cooking cards are used in busy kitchen environments, the right finish must take into account both protection and presentation. To make your recipe deck resistant to oil and water, we recommend applying a lamination (matte or gloss) to both sides of each card. This protective layer seals the surface, preventing stains and moisture from damaging the print.

A non-glossy coating on both sides that offers a textured feel.

A glossy coating on both sides with a subtle texture.

A smooth, velvety matte film applied to both sides, offering durable, non-reflective finish.

A shiny film applied to both sides, giving the card a sleek, high-gloss appearance.

A glossy finish applied to specific areas for a bold and distinct look.

Metallic gold foil pressed onto the card for an elegant, eye-catching detail.

Metallic silver foil applied to the card, adding a sleek, reflective accent.

Raised designs for added texture and elegance.

Metallic foil applied to the edges of the card, creating a premium and polished look from every angle.

Printed on holographic paper, which reflects rainbow-like colors when viewed from different angles.
Beyond durability, finishes also enhance the appeal and feel of your cards, helping you create a look that matches your brand. Whether your desired aesthetic is clean and minimalist, bold and colorful, or elegant and premium, we’ll work together to make it a reality.

I had a quote from Mia at QinPrinting and was so impressed with the efficient communication and excellent price. I decided to go for it, despite my concerns about delivery and turn around.
Mia was amazing throughout the process and everything happened just as she said. The printing of 200 A4 books with 200 pages was completed within the week.
