What paper stocks can I choose for Ripcards?
Ripcards, also called perforated tear-off cards, need a stock that tears cleanly along the perforation while both halves still survive a wallet, pocket or mailer. 4OVER4.COM prints them on the same quality stocks used across the wider product line, mostly mid to heavy cardstock.
- 16pt cardstock: thick and premium, ideal when a half is meant to be kept, like a loyalty or membership piece.
- 14pt cardstock: a durable, all-purpose weight for most uses, including coupon-style promotions.
- Gloss or matte coating: gloss pops the color, matte keeps a cleaner, writable look.
- Lighter stocks: keep costs down on high-volume mailings and mass handouts.
Match the weight to the use: heavier for a keeper card, lighter for bulk distribution. Confirm the exact weights and finishes in the pricing and specs section as you configure the order.
