Question
Can you feel the difference between 14pt and 16pt?
Answer
Most people can, especially when they hold both cards at once. 16pt feels noticeably heavier and more rigid than 14pt, and while the gap is subtle on its own, that extra weight registers as quality the moment someone handles your card. A tactile finish makes the difference even easier to notice.
| Stock | Feel in the hand |
|---|---|
| 14pt | Solid and professional, a common standard |
| 16pt | Heavier and more rigid, reads as premium |
- The contrast is clearest when the two are compared side by side.
- A soft-touch or matte finish amplifies the perceived difference between the stocks.
