Question
How thick is 14-point?
Answer
Card stock thickness is measured in points, where one point equals 0.001 inches (0.0254 mm). So a 14-point stock is 0.014 inches, or about 0.356 mm, thick. It is the everyday standard for coated business cards: substantial enough to feel professional without being bulky.
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Points | 14 pt |
| Inches | 0.014 in |
| Millimeters | 0.356 mm |
- 14 pt is the common baseline for standard coated cards and flyers on card stock.
- For reference, a credit card is 30 pt, so 14 pt is noticeably thinner and more flexible.
- Step up to 16 pt or higher when you want extra rigidity and a more premium hand feel.
