What thickness of cardstock can hold coins or small items?
For a card that needs to hold a coin or another small item with a friction fit, a heavy cardstock does the job. Around 70pt is a practical choice because it is rigid enough to grip the item without flexing.
- 70pt cardstock: thick and stiff enough to support small items like pennies and nickels.
- Why weight matters: thinner stocks bend and lose their grip, so the item can slip out.
- Die-cut opening: pairing the thick stock with a snug die-cut hole is what creates the secure hold.
| Cardstock weight | Best use |
|---|---|
| Standard (14pt to 16pt) | Everyday cards and flyers |
| Ultra thick (32pt and up) | Premium, rigid cards |
| 70pt | Holding coins or small items with a friction fit |
Confirm the exact weight against your specific item and design when requesting a quote, since heavier or oddly shaped pieces may need a thicker stock.
