Transparent stickers are see through. That means the surface, on which the stickers are applied, shines through. This could eventually lead to colour changes of your print design, as the stickers are printed with glazed colours (Euroskala, no special colour). Please note: All white surfaces are not printed and appear transparent. 

The grammage correlates to the thickness of the material. The thicker the paper, the heavier it is and often times the higher does the quality feel. The provided grammage of print products describes the weight of a 1m² standard sheet (A0).

Our recommendation: Flyers can also be used with a lower grammage (approx. from 135 gsm) depending on the application area. Business cards should always be ordered in a high grammage (e.g. 400 gsm). This weight corresponds to:

• 400 gram = 1 m²
• 1 business card = 8.5 cm x 5.5 cm (also 0.00468 m²)

This makes up the weight of the business card: 

• 1 business card = 1.87 g

With the help of the paper weight calculator the paper weight is approximately calculated. The weight refers to that of unprinted paper. Depending on the colour saturation different values and weights result, which can deviate from the results of the paper weight calculator. Therefore these should preferably not be used for calculation of quantities of individual products. 

  The gold paper is a coated fine paper with metallic effect on both sides. All colourless surfaces appear gold. The brighter the colours, the more intense the golden effect.

To achieve an optimal colour saturation on black areas, a deep black colour can be created by adding in another colour component.
Example: cyan 60 %, magenta 40 %, yellow 20 %, black 100 %. Depending on your requirements, different ink components can be added until the maximum coverage of the product (here 260 %) is achieved. This is not recommended for texts and lines since slight gaps may occur.

A spiral binding is a wire comb binding, which provides the products with a special stability. The advantage is that the sides can be opened into a flat position and the bound print product stays laying flat.

The perfect binding is used for the manufacturing of magazines, brochures or books. During the process the body of the book is glued at the back and then glued with a cover. This way a compact and durable magazine is created. A special type of perfect binding is the PUR perfect binding with polyurethane glue. This process is considered a very high-quality method and is perfectly suitable for products that are subject to heavy use. The glue is fully cured and the biggest strain is finished after 48 hours.

 Due to the high temperature during the lamination process and the self colourization of the films there could be colour deviations, for which we cannot accept any complaints. In general, the colours will be more intense. The signature strip is writeable. Cards have a LoCo magnetic strip.

Permanently adhesive stickers have a high adhesion on smooth, oil-free and clean surfaces and are suitable for single-use. The applied glue is solvent-free.

A book with a solid cover is called hard cover. The cover consists of a silk paper coated grey cardboard (thickness of 2 mm to 2.2 mm) The silk paper is additionally matt or glossy coated for better protection and therefore appears even more high quality. 

A soft cover is a brochure or a book with a flexible cover. The cover consists of a durable SBS board, which can also be printed inside. The runs from 1 to 100 units will be digitally printed. 

The silver adhesive vinyl is a silver film and can be printed with every chosen colour. All colourless (white) areas will appear silver. The brighter the colours, the greater the metallic effect. White can only be used on the labels on a roll with spot white colour.

The shelf life of the print and material is heavily dependent on the weather conditions, that is why it is not possible to give you exact details. 

FLYERALARM assumes no guarantee for the reprinting of products (except for letterheaded paper and white offset envelopes). Generally, a reprinting is dependent on paper, colour and finishing processes.

  The 260 gsm plastic film is a perfect tear resistant material, not only for flyers, but especially for book marks or gift tags. It refers to a matt white polyolefin foil. 

Yes, our translucent polypropylene is a translucent plastic with a roughened surface on one side. Polypropylene is printed with glazed colours (Euroskala, no additional colours). All white areas will appear as transparent in print.

Silverstar® is a paper type with a metallic, silver, high gloss front side and a white, matt coated reverse side. Depending on the colour you can achieve different metallic effects. The brighter the colours, the greater the metallic effect. All colourless surfaces appear silver. To achieve an optimal colour saturation for black surfaces we recommend underlaying with black, cyan, magenta and yellow (maximum colour saturation of 260 %).

The wood-free offset paper has a matt, uncoated and glued surface. The colour of the print on the offset paper does not appear as saturated as on coated paper. Due to the uncoated surface there could be a busy-looking colour application on larger, smooth surfaces. So, please create your designs in a slightly lighter tint than usually. This helps retain contrast and image sharpness.

Offset white paper, natural cream paper and recycled paper, each without finish.

It is made from 100  % recycled paper. The paper has a high degree of whiteness and has the characteristically slight grey look of eco-friendly papers. The paper absorbs a high amount of colour, because the surface is open-pored and uncoated.  Consequently, there could be some busy-looking colour application for dark, full surface designs. So, please create your designs in a slightly lighter tint than usually. This helps retain contrast and image sharpness.

Natural cream paper consists of chlorine free bleached pulp and therefore has a slight beige hue. It is not pure white. Images on natural paper look soft and warm. It absorbs a high amount of colour due to its open-pored surface. Please take into account the colour reproduction because of the cream hue. So, please create your designs in a slightly lighter tint than usually. This helps retain contrast and image sharpness.

Multilayer paper consists of 3 paper layers with a coloured core (black, red, turquoise). The external sides are white and uncoated.

Linen paper is characterised by a linen finish. Due to the relief structure the full surfaces appear more vivid in print. Because of the embossed surface, the intensity of the printing colour is lower compared to that of coated paper and the finished print is less sharp.
