Question

What paper thickness works best for standard business card size?

Answer

Thickness changes the feel of a card without changing its 3.5 x 2 inch footprint, so you can pick a weight purely for the impression you want.

ThicknessFeelBest for
14ptEveryday, slightly flexibleHigh-volume handouts and general use
16ptCredit-card sturdyProfessionals who want extra durability
32ptUltra-thick, rigidA premium, memorable first impression

Thicker stock costs a little more per card but leaves a stronger tactile impression. The dimensions stay the same at every weight.
