Question
What paper stock options are available for business cards and postcards?
Answer
Business cards and postcards come in a range of paper stocks and coatings, so you can match the weight and feel to the job. The exact list appears in the calculator on each product page, and the common families are below.
| Stock type | Character |
|---|---|
| Uncoated | Natural, matte, easy to write on |
| Gloss (coated) | Smooth and shiny, strong color |
| High-gloss UV | Extra shine plus a protective coat |
| Specialty / heavy cover | Thick, rigid, premium hand feel |
- Weights range from standard through mid and heavy cover stocks.
- Heavier stocks feel more premium and resist bending. Lighter stocks keep costs down.
- Request a sample pack if you want to compare stocks in person before ordering.
