Does the Weight of Your Paper Matter? You Bet!

Did you know that the weight of the paper you use in your print marketing can impact how well your audience engages with your message? A high-quality, heavier weight paper creates a more positive image of your brand and increases the likelihood that your information will be shared with friends?
These findings come from a study funded by SAPPI North America and conducted by the Eagleman Lab, run by Dr. David Eagleman, well-known neuroscientist and director of the Baylor College of Medicine’s Laboratory for Perception and Action (as well as best-selling author and creator of PBS’ series, “The Brain”). In the study, participants read a brochure for fictitious companies on three different media: high-quality coated paper, lower-grade uncoated paper, and online. The design was similar for all three media, and the brochure for each company was randomly assigned a medium. The study found that four things occurred when participants read on high-quality paper:
UNDERSTOOD THE CONTENT BEST BY SIGNIFICANT MARGINS
REMEMBERED THE CONTENT BEST BY SIGNIFICANT MARGINS
HAD THE BEST IMPRESSIONS OF THE BRANDS THEY READ ABOUT
WERE MORE LIKELY TO RECOMMEND THOSE BRANDS TO FRIENDS
Even one week later, participants still preferred the companies they read about on high-quality paper, with name recall for those brands highest by a factor of 3:1.
These papers will cost more, of course, but for the right projects, especially those for which you have made significant investments in targeting and personalization, the message will be better anchored in recipients’ brains, and recipients will be more likely to spread the message to others than when reading on lower quality, lighter weight papers. This will make your marketing dollars go even further.

Among the different articles I explored recently, this one was one of the easiest to understand because of its simple writing style. The writer organized the discussion carefully, ensuring that every section built naturally on the previous one. The explanation about 66Lottery was introduced at the right moment and supported with useful information that blended perfectly into the article. Every paragraph expanded the discussion with fresh insights instead of repeating earlier ideas, making the content much more engaging. Toward the conclusion, 66Lottery appeared again with additional context that connected the complete discussion together. The article remained informative, balanced, and enjoyable to read from start to finish.
