Question

What is the thickest card stock available for die-cut products?

Answer

Die-cut products print best on heavier cover-weight stocks, because the added rigidity holds a cleaner, more precise cut edge. The thickest option generally tops out around a 32pt ultra-thick uncoated cover, which is among the heaviest card stocks used for die-cutting.

  • Heavier cover stocks resist tearing and keep intricate shapes crisp.
  • Thin text-weight paper is not ideal for detailed die-cuts because the edges can fray.
  • The maximum thickness available depends on the specific die-cut product, since each item carries its own stock list.

Always confirm the heaviest stock supported for the exact product you plan to order, as options can vary from one item to the next.
