Question
What paper stock works best for DIY greeting cards?
Answer
For greeting cards, a heavier stock gives that premium, keep-worthy feel, while the coating you choose sets the mood of the design.
- 14pt or 16pt uncoated: thick and substantial with a soft, natural texture that is easy to write on.
- Uncoated: best when you want a warm, tactile finish.
- Coated: better for vivid, saturated color and photography.
| Goal | Best pick |
|---|---|
| Soft, writable, natural feel | 14pt to 16pt uncoated |
| Bright, saturated color | Coated stock |
