Question
What paper stocks can I choose for Rack Cards?
Answer
Rack cards get handled constantly in high-traffic displays and need a stock heavy enough to stand upright without curling. Heavier weights of 14pt to 16pt resist bending much better; anything thinner flops over and will not hold its shape in a rack.
| Stock or finish | Why choose it |
|---|---|
| 14pt or 16pt cardstock | Rigid enough to stand tall and stay crisp |
| Glossy | Vivid color and a polished look |
| Matte | Soft, glare-free, understated and easy to read |
| UV coating | Extra durability for high-touch environments |
| Uncoated | A natural feel if visitors need to write on the card |
For racks in busy lobbies or entrances, lean toward a heavier stock with UV or gloss.
