Question

What paper stock works best for Rack Cards?

Answer

Rack cards need a stock heavy enough to stand upright in a display rack without curling. Thin paper flops over and looks cheap the moment it goes on a shelf.

Stock / finishWhy choose it
14pt or 16pt cardstockRigid enough to stand tall in a rack
Gloss coatingMakes photos and colors pop
Matte coatingUnderstated, professional, easy to read
UV coatingExtra durability for high-touch environments
  • Anything thinner than 14pt will not hold its shape in a rack.
  • Pick UV or gloss for cards that get handled constantly. Matte for a calmer, upscale feel.
