Which paper for leaflets

Options
Hi

I have a chocolate fountain business and want to produce some leaflets.
Can anyone suggest which type of paper I need to print them on...ie photo...soft gloss etc. Also if anyone knows where I can buy cheap...that would be brilliant.
I want a nice gloss finish.

Many thanks.

    if you are wanting to do lots of leaflets you really need to go to a printers.

    It might seem like a lot of money but if you work out the cost of the ink ( I am guessing you want to do it on a colour inkjet) the paper and the time it will take you to do it will prob be better to go to a proper printers, and you will get a good professional job. They might also be able to help you with layout and all things like that.

    If you are starting small then go for somthing with a bit of gloss to it. Or maybe if you can find it a light card that the ink will not run/rub off.

    Another good idea might be to do business cards and laminate them, people I think tend to keep them for some reason. Keep it simple and good luck with your business

    Many thanks for your help, but only want to produce a few leaflets for the local registary office. Not worth going to a printers for.
    I already have business cards that have been professionally produced.
