Printing of these cards has made use of a brand new, technologically advanced series of paper. Realizing that Montessori teachers like to have their materials laminated, we have chosen to use a new innovative material that will hold up to everyday use. With an impressive thickness and a tangible, velvety texture on the surface, these cards are printed on a specialty paper that no other Montessori publisher has ever used. This triple layer of material looks and feels incredible. It's sleek! It's bold and it's guaranteed to make an impression on your students.
We have used a 700 gsm "Smart White" paper with a black middle layer that is thicker than the two white layers giving it the equivalent feel of a 12 mil lamination thickness. This paper is designed to provide depth and a unique appearance. it's simply the perfect tool for creating a truly unforgettable set of cards.
