Question

What paper stocks can I choose for gift cards?

Answer

Gift cards run from sturdy cardstock all the way to plastic, and the stock you pick sets the weight and feel of the finished card.

StockFeel
14pt cardstockLight and economical
16pt cardstockStandard, everyday weight
32pt cardstockUltra-thick and premium
Plastic substrateRetail feel, most durable

Heavier and plastic stocks better mimic the gift cards you find at retail chains, which raises the perceived value.
