Question
What paper stock works best for Austin networking events?
Answer
For busy Austin networking events like SXSW or Austin Startup Week, the stock choice is about standing out in a stack of cards. A heavier, tactile card gets noticed, while a lighter gloss card still looks sharp on a budget.
| Priority | Recommended stock |
|---|---|
| Maximum impression | 32pt ultra-thick with soft-touch lamination |
| Budget-friendly and clean | 14pt gloss |
- Thick, soft-touch cards feel premium the instant someone picks them up.
- 14pt gloss still reads as professional and polished for high-volume handouts.
