Custom Art Card
Packaging Solutions

Art card, also known as coated paper or C2S (coated two sides) board, is a clay-coated paperboard available from 250gsm to 400gsm that delivers a smooth, high-gloss or matte surface optimized for commercial offset and digital printing. The mineral coating fills surface imperfections in the base paper, producing a mirror-like or silky finish that makes printed colors appear sharper, more saturated, and more luxurious than on uncoated stocks.

Brisk Packaging uses art card extensively for product boxes, folding cartons, hangtags, booklets, header cards, and POS display materials. Its dual-sided coating allows full-bleed printing on both interior and exterior faces simultaneously, a capability that is increasingly important for brands designing immersive unboxing experiences where every internal surface carries brand messaging or artwork.

The cost-to-quality ratio of art card makes it the workhorse of mid-to-premium retail packaging. It accepts every major finishing technique — gloss and matte lamination, UV spot coating, foil stamping, embossing, and aqueous coating — enabling brand designers to compose multi-element, tactile packaging without escalating costs to rigid box territory. For brands that need shelf impact and print excellence at production volumes, art card is the reliable choice.
