Question

How do I choose the right paper stock for my print marketing campaign?

Answer

Match the stock to the job each piece does in the campaign. Not every item needs the same weight.

PieceStock guidance
Business cards and keepers16pt to 32pt for a substantial, premium feel
Flyers and insertsLighter stock for quick, cost-effective distribution
Premium mailersAdd soft-touch or spot UV for a tactile standout

A heavier stock or special finish on the pieces people keep, and a lighter stock on the pieces meant for volume, is the usual winning combination.
