To assist you in finding paper that best suits your application, we offer paper samples for color matching and testing with your specific application, and recommend testing prior to purchasing your paper.
Printing: Cardstock Warehouse provides best practice recommendations for printing and other applications based on our in-house testing and specifications provided by the manufacturing paper mills. The majority of our papers are suitable for conventional printing and processing methods, however, when it comes to paper compatibility with printing and other applications, we cannot explicitly guarantee outcomes. This is due to the diverse range of consumer and professional printers and other processing equipment, each with its unique mechanical and technical characteristics. Additionally, different inks, adhesives and other processing techniques can yield varying results when used on different paper types. If you plan to utilize the services of a professional, we recommend consulting with them to address your specific needs.
Color: While we take great care to accurately photograph product colors, device screens and monitors may not display true to color; photographs are meant to be used only as a guide. When color matters, we recommend purchasing samples prior to purchasing a larger quantity.
Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co, Inc. assumes no liability for any incidental or consequential damages or losses that may occur, whether they are related to color, printing, other applications, or information provided, regardless of whether provided verbally, in writing, or on this website.

350-450 GSM – The highest GSM paper is pretty much cardstock paper. This is the stiffest, sturdiest paper and is used for business cards and cardstock for invitations.
Cardstock is typically classified by weight, measured in pounds (lbs) per 500 sheets of paper. Cardstock weight ranges from around 65 lbs (thinnest cardstock) to 110 lbs (thickest cardstock).
16pt cardstock is thicker than 14pt, and as a result, has a higher quality feel. The added thickness also makes it more durable and longer lasting than 14pt.
Cardstock: Pros: Cardstock is thicker and sturdier than regular paper, making it a more durable option. It is also available in a variety of finishes, such as matte, glossy or metallic. Cons: Cardstock is more expensive than regular paper and can be more difficult to fold and store.
65 lb Cover Weight/176 gsm card stock is used in cases where you would need a lighter weight card stock. It is heavy enough to be used for post cards. It is great for layering pieces as it will not add excessive weight to an invitation or card. Paper punching, die cutting and folding is easy to do on 65 lb card stock.
Cardstock weights have increased in recent years. The most popular cardstock weights are 80 lb, 90 lb, 110 lb, and 130 lb. Heavier cardstocks like 300 lb cover the gamut from super heavy-duty to really thin! Each paper weight is a specific thickness that will affect the versatility of your handmade projects.
Most of our customers opt for the Premium, which is 2x even 3x thicker than standard card stock. The Classic line is ideal when you are printing a wedding invitation set, since you can use the thinner weight for RSVP, maps & directions, brunch invites, etc.
Stampin' Up! Cardstocks – When I first started as a cardmaker, I started with Stampin' Up products. I still have a ton of cardstock in all the colors and the cardstock matches the ink. The cost per sheet is extremely low and the company offers a wide variety of colors.
Same Paper, Different Weight: Both are made out of the same raw materials and out to the same production equipment. So we know the 100lb paper is 25% heavier than the 80lb gloss text and therefore thicker than the 80lb paper.
For reference: most postcards are printed in 100 lb cover or thicker (i.e. 14 pt cardstock is thicker than 100 lb cover) 80 lb cover feels like a thin cardstock. 100 lb cover feels more like a “regular” cardstock.
