Question
What paper stock works best for dental appointment cards?
Answer
Appointment cards live in wallets, purses, and on fridge doors for weeks, so the stock needs to survive handling without going soft. Thicker cardstock is the safe default.
| Stock | Thickness | Feel |
|---|---|---|
| 14pt | 0.014 in | Sturdy everyday card |
| 16pt | 0.016 in | Noticeably firmer, holds a crisp edge |
- A matte or soft touch finish still looks clean when the front desk writes in the next visit
- Uncoated stock takes pen ink best if each card is hand dated
- Rounded corners help the card resist bending in a pocket
