The Ultimate Guide to Colorplan Paper

Colorplan is a premium colored paper made by GF Smith, one of the world\u2019s leading paper manufacturers. It is made from sustainably sourced pulp that is colored all the way through, so the color is consistent on both sides and on the edges. Colorplan is widely regarded as the finest colored paper stock available for printing.

Jukebox Print offers 55 Colorplan shades for custom postcards and business cards. The range spans from soft whites and creams through greys, pastels, bold colors, and deep darks like Ebony and Bagdad Brown.

Yes. White ink printing is available on Colorplan and is highly recommended for darker shades. White ink can be used on its own for a minimal, elegant look, or combined with full color printing for maximum contrast and vibrancy.

For lighter Colorplan shades like Pristine White, Ice White, or Pistachio, you may not need white ink as the paper itself provides a bright base for color printing.

All Colorplan products at Jukebox Print are printed on 18pt stock. This gives the cards a solid, premium feel that stands out from standard cardstock. The paper has a natural uncoated texture that is part of what makes Colorplan so distinctive.

Colorplan is available across a wide range of print products. Custom postcards and custom business cards are the most popular, and the full range of 55 colors is available for both. That said, Colorplan can be printed on virtually any product we offer. If you have a custom project in mind — invitations, packaging, stationery, folded cards, or anything else — request a custom quote and our team will work with you directly.

Yes. Colorplan paper is dyed all the way through, so the color is consistent on both the front and back, and even on the cut edges. This is one of the defining qualities that sets Colorplan apart from surface-coated colored papers, where a white core is often visible on the edge.

You can order a Colorplan sample pack directly from our samples page. The pack includes real printed samples on Colorplan stock so you can see and feel the paper before committing to a full order. It is the best way to compare colors side by side, check white ink contrast on darker shades, and get a true sense of the 18pt weight and uncoated texture. Screen colors can never fully replicate the real paper, so we strongly recommend ordering a sample pack before finalizing your color choice.
