Question
What paper weight works best for printing hand-lettered designs?
Answer
Heavier stocks show off hand lettering best. Thicker paper carries the artwork with a premium, substantial feel that lighter sheets cannot match.
| Weight | Feel and best use |
|---|---|
| 14pt | Standard, everyday cards and flyers |
| 16pt | Sturdier, noticeably more premium in hand |
| 32pt | Ultra-thick, showcase-grade for statement pieces |
Match the stock texture to the design personality too: smooth stocks keep fine lines sharp, while cotton or uncoated adds a soft, rustic character.
