Paper Options
The right material is essential for creating a cooking card deck that can withstand the heat, spills, and frequent handling in the kitchen. We use professional-grade cardstock and coatings designed. The right choice will not only enhance the look of your recipe deck but also protect it during everyday cooking use. Our most popular options include:
| Paper | Weight | Thickness (mm) | Thickness (pt) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Cardstock | 250gsm | 0.225mm | 9pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 300gsm | 0.27mm | 11pt |
| Premium Cardstock | 350gsm | 0.41mm | 16pt |
| Black Core Paper | 310gsm | 0.325mm | 13pt |
Surface Finishes and Enhancements
Because cooking cards are used in busy kitchen environments, the right finish is essential for both protection and presentation. To make your recipe deck water- and oil-resistant, 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 visual appeal and tactile feel of your cards—helping you create a look that matches your brand, whether clean and minimalist, bold and colorful, or elegant and premium.

QinPrinting Reviews
As a finished artist with 30 years of experience I can comfortably recommend this company to you
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with QinPrinting. From start to finish, their team was responsive, professional, and truly invested in helping me bring my vision to life. I printed my first edition of a 58-card deck (complete with a custom magnetic box) and the results were stunning.
The color accuracy, matte finish, and premium cardstock all exceeded my expectations. Every detail shows real craftsmanship. The communication was outstanding too; they provided clear updates, design templates, and guidance at every stage.
What impressed me most was how personal the process felt. Even though they’re a large-scale printer, they treated my small-batch creative project with care and respect.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality printer for custom card decks, packaging, or creative projects, I can’t recommend QinPrinting enough. I’ll absolutely be printing with them again for my next production run!
There is so good and helpful. In the end, we are beyond happy with the outcome. There were also no hidden fees or taxes when the product arrived either. So the quote given was solid. The quality of the materials was just beautiful. We got exactly what we were hoping for. We highly recommend this company and will for sure come back here for our next printing project for sure. 💯. 😊.
The e-transfer payment seems fishy but they followed through on all asks so was totally fine! We just received our first batch and our getting ready to launch our product! Will definitely be restocking with Qin Printing again!
