Selecting the right paper quality and finish is crucial for getting the printed results you desire from Canva Print. Here, we detail the paper qualities and finishes available to help you make an informed choice.

Paper Quality
In Canva Print, paper quality is determined by the thickness of the cardstock, measured in grams per square meter (GSM), varying with each product type. We proudly use eco-friendly recycled paper while maintaining high quality.

• **Standard**: Offers excellent quality and value.
• **Premium**: Slightly thicker and more rigid.
• **Deluxe**: The thickest, providing a luxurious feel.
• **Hemp Paper**: Features a rough texture made from renewable hemp, at 325 GSM.

Paper Finish
Paper finish refers to the texture and look of the paper surface. Availability of finishes depends on the product type.

• **Matte**: Smooth and low sheen, does not alter colors, easy to write on, ideal for text-heavy designs.
• **Gloss**: Shiny, enhances vibrant colors and photos, not ideal for writing.
• **Uncoated**: Natural feel, maintains a warm and soft look, writable and perfect for a handcrafted appearance.
• **Soft-touch**: Velvet-like texture, writable, with a soft and warm appearance.
