Question

What is 14pt cardstock and what is it used for?

Answer

14pt cardstock is 0.014 inches thick, about the same as a credit card, and it is the everyday workhorse of short-run printing.

  • The standard weight for business cards, postcards, and rack cards.
  • Sturdy enough to feel professional in hand.
  • Flexible and cost-effective for large print runs.

It is where most people start, then step up to 16pt or thicker when they want extra heft.
