Define the use
Is this a one-day handout, a frequently handled menu or a longer-lived booklet?
Compare surfaces
Coated stocks can boost image contrast; uncoated stocks often feel softer and are easier to write on.
Consider weight and folding
Heavier is not always better. A thick stock may need creasing before a neat fold.
Ask for a sample
Feel and view stock in the intended light, especially for colour-critical or premium work.
Common mistake
A screen swatch cannot show opacity, texture, stiffness or ink behaviour.
Before you send the file
Check the exact specification with The Print Centre Warrington before final export. Bleed, resolution, colour setup, imposition and finishing allowances depend on the product and production route. Approve the final file and content yourself.
