Please note: exposure to sunlight, moisture, and other environmental factors can cause the glossy photo paper to fade over time.
Preservation Tips
- Store finished prints in a cool, dark place
- Frame under UV-protective glass or acrylic
- Consider clear lamination or archival sleeves for extra protection
Is 115 gsm Too Thin for Photo Prints? 115 gsm single-sided glossy paper works beautifully for personalized packaging—think chip or chocolate wrappers—because it’s lightweight, easy to fold, and cost-effective. However, when it comes to standalone photo prints, it can feel a bit flimsy and may not convey the heft or durability you expect from a cherished image.
If You Want Photo-Quality Results
- Choose at least 200 gsm glossy or semi-gloss for crisp, durable prints.
- Consider 260–300 gsm for professional portfolios or framed pieces.
- Always test your printer settings—select the appropriate paper type in your driver and use high-quality mode.
