What paper stocks and finishes does 4OVER4 offer for cards?
4OVER4 offers card stocks in two broad families - paper cardstock and plastic - so you can dial in exactly how substantial and durable the card feels. Paper options come in a range of weights and finishes, while plastic is measured in mil thickness.
| Material | Example | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Uncoated cardstock | 14pt uncoated | Writable, natural feel |
| Gloss cardstock | 14pt / 16pt gloss | Vivid color, everyday cards |
| Plastic | 30mil gloss plastic | Waterproof, high-durability cards |
You pick the stock and finish while placing the order, or request a custom quote if you need something outside the listed configurations.
Most card products default to 14pt Gloss Cover. Depending on the product, other choices include 16pt Gloss Cover, 100# Silk/Matte Cover, uncoated and recycled stocks, linen, metallic pearl, ultra thick stocks, and velvet or suede laminated cards. The free sample kit lets you compare weights and finishes by hand before you order.
