Question
How do I choose the right paper stock for my business cards?
Answer
Match the paper to your brand personality and budget. Thickness changes how the card feels in hand, which shapes the impression you leave.
| Stock | Feel |
|---|---|
| 14pt | Professional and budget-friendly, the versatile everyday choice |
| 16pt | Solid, like a credit card, a step up in durability |
| 32pt ultra-thick | Immediate premium impression |
- Coated vs uncoated - coated stock sharpens color and photos, while uncoated surfaces feel more organic.
- Specialty stocks - kraft, linen, cotton, and pearl add texture and character.
- Order samples - feel the stock in person before committing to a full run.
