Does anyone know the difference between card stock when talking about business cards?

There are many kinds of card stock used for business cards.





The higher the #, the thicker (more sturdy) they are. For example, a 28# card stock is thicker than a 20# stock.





There is a smooth stock, which is like an index card, a linen stock, which is a small woven like textured stock, and a laid stock which is a textured stock but without a pattern (like the linen stock).





I order all my cards from www.staples.com. On the right side of the page there is a "custom printing" choice, click that, then go to the custom printing section...you can design the card, make your changes and view it before ordering it.


Good luck

They are categorized by weight and texture.


Heavier is more expensive and so is textured.
Reply:Sure, there's 80#, 110#, different colors, appearances and textures. What specifically do you want to know?
Reply:card stock paper is stiffer than regular paper..
Reply:There are different weights, textures, what the paper is made with. Gloss finish, matte finish, etc. Color of paper. I have even seen some made from a very thin plastic.


Card stock depend on what it is made with to determine the weight. Something in a gloss may have a higher weight but be thinner than a standard paper with a lower weight.


Best advice go down to a print shop and they will have samples of each to show you.
Reply:It comes in weight. The higher the weight of the card stock, the pricier the cards are to make. It's better if you can go in person and feel the different paper for the cards before ordering. You may like a less expensive one than what you liked on the internet.
