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.
