Question
What paper stock options are available for items that need to be written on with a pen?
Answer
For anything people will write on with a pen, use uncoated cover stock. Coated finishes resist ink and can smear.
| Layer | Thicknesses |
|---|---|
| Single layer | 14pt, 16pt, 18pt |
| Double layer and up | 32pt, 48pt, and thicker |
- Uncoated cover takes pen ink cleanly without beading or smudging.
- Heavier gauges feel more substantial and resist creasing.
- Avoid coated stocks when writability matters.
