Question
Is 14pt or 16pt better for business cards?
Answer
Both weights print beautifully, so the choice really comes down to feel and budget. 14pt is the everyday industry standard, and 16pt is the noticeably thicker, more premium upgrade.
- 14pt: professional, sturdy, and cost-effective. The default for routine networking and high-volume orders where budget matters.
- 16pt: heavier in the hand and reads as more premium. A strong pick for luxury brands or anyone who wants the card to stand out at events.
| 14pt | 16pt | |
|---|---|---|
| Feel | Solid, standard | Thicker, premium |
| Cost | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | Volume, everyday use | Luxury brands, first impressions |
