Question

What is the minimum paper weight for painted edge business cards?

Answer

Painted-edge business cards are built on thick cover stocks so there is enough edge to carry the paint cleanly. The available weights and lamination finishes are shown when you build the order.

  • Painted edges require a heavy cover stock so the color band is visible around the card.
  • The exact weight options and lamination choices appear on the product page.
  • Thicker stock gives a bolder, more visible painted edge.
  • For help confirming a specific weight, contact support for a quote.
