Question

Which paper types for printing are best for business cards?

Answer

Most professionals choose between a few card stocks and finishes based on the feel they want. Heavier stock signals premium quality, while the coating changes both look and function.

StockFeel
14ptSolid and professional, like a standard credit card
16ptA touch sturdier and more substantial
32ptUltra-thick, bold, premium impression
  • Uncoated stocks let recipients write on the card
  • Glossy or silk-coated options make colors pop
  • Match the finish to how the card will be used, not just how it looks
