Question
What's the best paper stock for Business Cards designed in Google Docs?
Answer
The best stock depends on the impression you want to make and your budget. Weight, measured in points (pt), changes how the card feels in hand, while specialty papers add texture.
| Stock | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 14pt | Light, standard | Budget-conscious orders |
| 16pt | Credit-card weight | Most professionals |
| 32pt | Ultra thick, bold | Making a strong statement |
| Kraft or cotton | Textured, natural | Creative or eco-minded brands |
- Heavier stocks feel more premium but cost more.
- Kraft and cotton take ink with a softer, matte character.
