Question

How can I compare the thickness of different paper stocks?

Answer

The surest way to judge paper thickness is to feel it, and 4OVER4 makes that easy with a free sample pack. Thickness charts help, but weight and stiffness read very differently in the hand than on paper.

  • Order the free sample pack - it gathers the available stocks and finishes in one place.
  • Compare side by side - thickness, weight and surface texture together.
  • Test your use case - fold it, write on it, or hold it up to the light.

Once you have felt the options in the 4OVER4 sample pack, you can pick the stock with confidence before ordering a full run.
