Question
How thick is a sandwich business card compared to a standard card?
Answer
A sandwich card, sometimes called a layered or triplex card, is built by bonding two printed outer layers around a colored core. That construction makes it dramatically thicker than a normal card.
| Card type | Thickness | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| Standard card | 14pt | About a cereal-box panel |
| Sandwich card | 32pt to 40pt | Roughly triple thickness, credit-card firm or heavier |
- The visible colored edge is the core layer peeking out between the two printed faces.
- At 32pt to 40pt, the card feels substantial and rigid in the hand.
- That heft is the whole point, since the weight itself signals quality.
