Uncoated Black Edge Flyers
Uncoated black edge flyers are a bold, premium print option designed for brands that want to stand apart through craftsmanship rather than gloss. Featuring a rich black-painted edge combined with a smooth uncoated surface, these flyers deliver a striking contrast and a tactile, high-end feel that immediately signals quality.
Thick, substantial, and intentionally understated, black edge flyers are ideal when your goal is to create a piece that feels collected, kept, and remembered—not discarded.
What Are Black Edge Flyers?
Black edge flyers are produced by applying a solid black pigment to the edges of the paper after printing and cutting. This process creates a bold, uniform black line around the perimeter of the flyer, visible from every angle. When paired with uncoated stock, the result is a refined, modern look that emphasizes material, texture, and form.
Why Choose Uncoated Black Edge Flyers?
- Luxury visual impact – The black edge adds instant contrast and depth
- Tactile, natural feel – Uncoated stock offers a smooth, paper-forward texture
- Premium weight – Typically produced on thick cardstock for a substantial hand feel
- Modern, minimalist aesthetic – Perfect for brands that value restraint and clarity
- Memorable presentation – Designed to be noticed, handled, and kept
Paper Stock & Thickness
Uncoated black edge flyers are best produced on heavier stocks that can support edge painting without warping or color bleed. Common options include:
- 16pt, 18pt, or 20pt uncoated cardstock
- Ultra-thick duplex or triplex stocks (layered paper construction)
- Natural white or bright white uncoated paper
- Cotton or specialty uncoated stocks (availability may vary)
Printing Options
These flyers can be printed in multiple color configurations depending on your design:
- Full Color (CMYK) Single-Sided (4/0)
- Full Color (CMYK) Double-Sided (4/4)
- Black & White or grayscale designs for minimalist layouts
Uncoated paper absorbs ink slightly more than coated stock, resulting in a softer, more organic appearance that pairs perfectly with bold typography and clean layouts.
