Question
What paper stock works best for construction business cards?
Answer
Construction cards take abuse, so durability comes first. A 32pt ultra-thick stock is the strongest pick, roughly three times thicker than a standard card, and it survives pockets, toolboxes, and truck dashboards without bending.
| Stock | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14pt / 16pt | Similar to a credit card, sturdy | Everyday professional cards, budget-friendly runs |
| 32pt ultra-thick | Roughly three times a standard card, rigid and hefty | Premium first impressions and high-wear pockets |
- 32pt ultra-thick resists creasing in demanding, on-site conditions.
- 16pt, about the thickness of a credit card, is the budget-friendly option and still feels professional.
