C2S Art Board Card

C2S Art Board Card Overview

YOUNGSUN C2S (Coated Two Sides) Art Board — also referred to as art card, SBS board, or coated duplex board — features a double-coated white surface on both sides with ISO 92%+ brightness and CIE 140+ whiteness. The coating layer ensures sharp dot reproduction, high ink gloss, and consistent color fidelity for offset, UV offset, and digital printing. Available in 200–400 gsm, the board can be specified in C2S High Bulk Bristol Board configuration (210–320 gsm) which combines a coated surface on both sides with increased caliper at a controlled grammage, providing a more substantial hand feel. Smoothness is rated at ≤1.5 μm (PPS), making it the board of choice for luxury greeting cards, premium hang tags and swing tickets, book covers and dust jackets, high-end brochure and catalog covers, promotional card mailers, and certificate stock.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is C2S art board different from folding box board?

C2S art board is coated on both sides for high-quality two-side printing. Folding box board normally has one primary coated printing face and is selected mainly for carton stiffness and folding performance. Choose according to whether both sides are visible and printed, as well as the required converting strength.

Which printing methods can be used on C2S art board?

The smooth two-side coating supports offset, UV offset and selected digital printing. Ink, coating, foil, lamination and fold performance should still be tested on the chosen grammage before the production run.

What should I include in a C2S art board inquiry?

Send the required grammage or high-bulk option, sheet or reel dimensions, quantity per size, printing method, finishing route, application and destination port. The current minimum is 5 metric tons per product per size; standard samples are free and courier charges are paid by the customer.
