Question

What paper option is sturdier than standard printer paper but lighter than cardstock?

Answer

The paper you are describing is a heavier text-weight (uncoated text) stock. It sits right between everyday copy paper and full cover-weight cardstock: noticeably more substantial and durable than printer paper, but still light and flexible enough to fold and stack easily.

Standard printer paperThin, flimsyEveryday documents
Heavier text stockSturdy but flexibleLetterhead, flyers, brochure pages, booklet interiors
Cardstock / cover weightRigid, thickBusiness cards, postcards, covers

If you want something with more body than copy paper that still folds cleanly, a heavier text weight is usually the sweet spot. Exact weights are listed when you configure a product.
