Question
How thick are layer cake cards compared to standard business cards?
Answer
Layer cake cards are noticeably thicker than a standard business card because they are built from multiple plies bonded together rather than a single sheet. That extra heft is the whole point, since a substantial card lingers in someone's hand and feels memorable.
| Card type | Construction | Relative thickness |
|---|---|---|
| Standard card | Single 14pt sheet | Baseline |
| Layer cake card | Multiple bonded plies | Roughly 3x thicker, closer to a credit card or beyond |
