Question
What paper stock works best for retirement cards?
Answer
For a card people will sign and keep, prioritize a heavy stock that feels substantial in the hand, then match the finish to how the card will be used.
| Choice | Why |
|---|---|
| 16pt or thicker | sturdy, premium feel for a keepsake |
| Uncoated | ideal for signing with pen or marker |
| Matte coated | polished look with low glare |
| Gloss coated | vivid and sharp, but can smudge with some inks |
If the card will be passed around for signatures, uncoated stock keeps ink from smearing. Choose a coated finish when looks come first.
