Question
What is a good thickness for a Business Card?
Answer
Business card thickness is measured in points, and the higher the point value the thicker and sturdier the card feels.
| Thickness | Feel |
|---|---|
| 14 pt | Light and flexible, a common economy weight |
| 16 pt | The popular everyday standard, firm but easy to handle |
| 18 pt and up | Premium, rigid, and substantial in the hand |
- Most standard business cards fall in the 14 to 18 pt range
- Laminated and specialty cards go noticeably thicker
Thickness never changes the standard 3.5" x 2" size. Ultra-thick cards of 32 pt and up give the most rigid, luxury feel and cost a little more per card. A sample pack lets you feel the weights side by side before you choose.
