What is recycled matte paper?
Last updated 17 June 2026.
Recycled matte is a premium, 100% post-consumer recycled paper. It is entirely uncoated, providing a smooth, non-reflective finish that is ideal for writing.

Why choose recycled matte?

You can think of this stock as a sturdy, high-quality version of standard printer paper. Because it is completely uncoated, the surface is absorbent and glare-free, making it our best option for writing. This paper type is a great choice if you plan to write on your cards – for example, if you want to use your business cards for appointment reminders or to add a personal note.

Tips for your design

  • Keep it simple: This paper really shines with minimalist designs and plenty of white space.

  • Colour note: Because the paper is absorbent, dark or very saturated colours might look a little more muted or ‘flat’ than they do on your screen or on a glossy paper.

  • Easy to read: The non-glare surface makes it easy to read small text on your cards.
