Single Sided - Photo Paper Printing: To create lasting memories, we use Kodak Professional Endura paper (single sided photo paper only with a regular photo paper backing like your personal photos), which will last at least 100 years for home use & is the best quality paper available. This single sided paper is available in a lustre (matte-like) or metallic (high-contrast gloss) finish. The back of photo paper contains the Kodak logos, printer information, other text and a Lil' Duck Duck copyright notice - it cannot be written on or otherwise used for printing, to print on the back of your card or have a folded card, please select cardstock (see below).
Flat or Folded - Card Stock Printing: Printed directly onto the stock using a digital printing press, real liquid ink is used to give you an exceptional quality card. Cardstock printing is thicker than photo paper & the back can be customized at no additional cost (using either the matching background from the front of your design or adding custom items like text or another photo, a small "lilduckduck.com" will also appear on the back of your card for copyright purposes and cannot be removed, photographer credits may also be placed on the back). The standard cover stock is smooth finish, 120lb. (metallic and lustre finishes are not available on cardstock) and is FSC certified. Flat & folded cardstock options are available in the listed sizes under each product - folded cardstock is always hinged on the longest side.
Nothing is raised or mounted on any of our designs, and all graphic details are printed directly onto the cards (i.e. ribbon graphics are not real ribbons).
