There are three ways to achieve a matte surface appearance. These methods include:

The most commonly used method is by adhering two rolls of matter paper together. The matte laminated paper created is used for everyday goods like product tags and cover-weight printing papers. This paper-to-paper lamination is a pre-printing process that creates stronger heavy weight papers.

A matte film is adhered to regular paper or film with an adhesive, often by heat-activation. Technically a post-printing over-lamination process, matte laminated paper made with film is commonly used for protecting banners and other retail signage.Coated matte paper is created with chemical coating treatments in a pre-printing process.

Coated matte paper is a popular product for labels and soft touch high-end packaging materials.
