Paper properties
Opacity
An opaque paper with allow little or no image through it from the other side.
Gloss
This refers to the surface lustre
Glare
This refers to the way light reflects on the paper
Finish
This refers to the general characteristics of the surface
Smoothness
This refers to the absence of surface irregularities
Strength
This refers to the strength of the individual fibres, their length and their bonds
Tensile strength
This refers to the amount of pull and stress the paper/card can withstand
Bending strength
This refers to the flexibility and stiffness of the paper/card
Porosity
This refers to the density of the paper/card and its ability to allow liquid through it

Paper
- Commonly used by designers to demonstrate and show ideas and designs throughout the design process.
- Easy to show clients and receive feedback on
Three main types:
- Cartridge paper
- Used from 2D and 3D sketches
- Suitable for rendering sketches
- Can be very thick and heavy
- Not suitable from marker and watercolours as it bleeds
- Is less prone to yellowing over time as not acid in it
- Marker paper (Bleed proof paper)
- Similar of cartidge paper however has a protective layer to stop to ink from bleed through it
- Used for high quality marker rendering
- Layout paper
- This is a very thin partially translucent paper which is completely used in advertising
- Used so that images can be layered up over one another so give an overall image
- This make is easier to add and remove parts of the image clients do not want
Other papers include:
Watercolour paper (for watercolours), Ingress paper (for pastels), Sugar paper (for pastels)

Card and board
Card can be used commonly for packaging as well as printing and display work. Some board as used to create finish/final products.
Carton board
- Covered the most commonly used card
- From single layered card used in cereal boxes to corrugated card used for packaging
- Often made from recycle paper and card, as well as fibred wood
- Can be bleach or unbleached
- Thin carton board often is white and printed in one side, self-colour in the other
Holographic card/Metal effect card
- As well as printed images and colour into carton board, effect like metal, holograms and mirrors can also be printed on them
- These materials can be used in modelling to give the effect of other material
- Certain printing techniques can allow hologram and watermarks to be embedded into the card

Foam board
This is made up for multi-layers of card and foam
The outer layers are card with a gloss finish
The inner is made of a dense foam
It is complete used for mood boards and presentation board as well as modelling
It is very light weight, easy to cut but difficult to bend
Fluted polyproplyene (Correx)
This is a extruded thermoplastic sheet
It is used to make simple products as well as modelling
It is lightweight and durable
It is easy to bend due to the fluted spaces
