Frequently asked questions
Does Sturdy Layers SL35 contain a core?
No. SL35 is made from thick standard coated art paper without a separate colored center core.
Will SL35 affect packaging?
It can affect the depth of a stacked deck or component set. Confirm packaging fit when card count is high or box dimensions are tightly specified.
Is there a minimum order quantity for Sturdy Layers SL35?
QPMN is a print-on-demand platform, with no minimum order quantity where the selected product configuration supports it. Confirm the exact product, size, finish, and options in the live workflow.
Will coatings or finishes change the thickness?
They can affect finished feel and may affect the approximate caliper. Treat ~0.42 mm as a guide, not an exact final finished-product measurement.
