What cardstock options do you offer for folded greeting cards?
Folded greeting cards can be printed on several cardstocks so you can dial in the weight and feel. Here is how the options compare:
| Stock | Notes |
|---|---|
| 14pt | Standard coated weight |
| 16pt | Heavier, sturdier feel |
| 16pt soft-touch | Velvety matte finish, no matching soft-touch envelope option |
| 18pt uncoated | Thick, writable, natural finish |
For envelopes, most pair with 50# white wove. If you want a more premium feel, thicker envelopes can be sourced in 60#, 70#, or 80# white wove. Keep in mind the 16pt soft-touch card does not have a matching soft-touch envelope, so it pairs with a standard wove envelope instead.
The Greeting Cards calculator also lists 15pt Cover Gloss 1 Side (30% PCW), 100# Silk/Matte Cover, 14pt and 16pt uncoated, cream uncoated stocks, 13pt Uncoated Cover (100% PCW), 14pt White Linen, 18pt Premium White Linen and metallic pearl stocks in Ice, Champagne, Silver and Gold. Gloss flatters photos, while matte and uncoated stocks take handwriting well, and High Gloss UV Coating is an option. Matching blank White Wove A2 envelopes can be added in the calculator.
