Will soft-touch paper affect small type on cosmetic cartons?

Handfeel alone does not establish print clarity. Proof the actual type sizes, weights and printing process, including reversed type, fine lines and barcodes. Check drying, adhesion and the result after finishing. Assess the specific SOFTSKIN grade rather than assuming that a series name guarantees every artwork. Keep the approved sample, artwork version and processing sequence together; review them again when the paper or process changes.
