What paper stock works best for student handbooks and booklets?

For booklets students handle every day, durability matters as much as looks. A tougher cover paired with practical interior pages holds up to backpacks, lockers, and constant page-turning.

• Cover: a heavier 14pt or 16pt stock resists creasing and wear.
• Interior: standard text-weight pages keep the booklet light and affordable.
• Why mix them: the sturdy cover protects the pages that get the most handling.
• Bonus: a coated cover wipes clean and shrugs off scuffs.
