TEXT vs. CARDSTOCK
At 4OVER4.COM, we print on two premium papers: 100 lb. gloss text and 14-point gloss cardstock. You may also see paper referred to as "coated". For the most part, the word gloss and coated mean the same thing, and are used interchangeably in the printing industry.
You may see us refer to printing on "TEXT" or "CARDSTOCK", for some of our products such as posters or sell sheets.
Both of these papers are premium sheets, but they have different uses.
100 lb. gloss text: A high quality, premium sheet gloss coated on both sides. It is similar in thickness to most magazine covers (think Cosmopolitan and Vogue, versus the flimsier Time and Newsweek). While most competitors advertise pricing on 80 lb. gloss text, which is a good quality paper, 4OVER4.COM prefers to offer only the very best. 100 lb. gloss text is 25% thicker and heavier than 80 lb. gloss text and feels substantial in your hands. It produces a high quality printed piece and impressive results.
Common Uses:Trifold Brochures, Flyers, Sell Sheets, Product Sheets, Self-Mailers, Program Covers, Playbills, Bill Stuffers
14-point gloss cardstock: also a high quality, premium sheet gloss coated on both sides. It is substantially thicker and heavier than 100# gloss cover or 12-point gloss cardstock, which is what most of our competitors offer. 14-point feels thick, sturdy and substantial in your hands. This is what we use to print postcards
Common Uses: Heavyweight Brochures, Oversized Postcards, Sell Sheets, Product Sheets, Self-Mailers, Catalog Covers
