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.

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.
