Question

What paper stock do you recommend for durable printed cards used in restaurant table stands?

Answer

For cards that stand up in restaurant table stands and get handled all day, 4OVER4 generally points to a heavier cardstock with a protective coating. Weight keeps the card from curling in the stand, and the coating fights fingerprints and moisture.

  • Heavier cardstock - 14pt or thicker for rigidity that holds its shape.
  • Protective coating - gloss or a laminate to resist wear and spills.
  • Match to the stand size - so the card seats properly and stays upright.

Recommendations shift with the exact application, so share your use and size with the 4OVER4 team for the best stock-and-finish pairing.
