Question
Which paper stock should I choose for premium business cards?
Answer
For a premium card, the stock does most of the heavy lifting. The right pick depends on whether you want a smooth, refined feel or something more textured and tactile.
- 32pt with silk lamination: about three times the thickness of a standard card, with a smooth, velvety surface. A safe, impressive default.
- Uncoated cotton: soft and warm to the touch, popular with creative and boutique brands.
- Linen: a subtle woven texture that reads classic and understated.
If you are unsure, 32pt silk suits most professionals. Choose cotton or linen when tactile character matters more than a polished finish.
