What paper weight or stock should I use for folded posters?

For posters that will be folded, such as a quarter-fold, use a text stock rather than a cover stock. Text weight folds without cracking, while heavy cover stock tends to split along the crease. Specify the desired text weight, for example 100# text.

• Choose a text weight (100# text is common) for folded pieces
• Avoid thick cover stock on folds to prevent cracking
• Scoring before folding helps on any heavier sheet
