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. Ultimately, the responsibility for the outcome lies solely with the consumer.
Lightweight Cardstock (90-120 gsm): Ideal for everyday printing tasks, such as flyers and brochures. Medium-weight Cardstock (121-200 gsm): Great for business cards, postcards, and greeting cards. Heavyweight Cardstock (201-300 gsm): Perfect for high-quality invitations, book covers, and presentations.
To put it simply, cardstock is a thicker and more durable type of paper. It is more flexible and thinner than paperboard and cardboard, making it perfect for arts and crafts. Since it is heavier and sturdier than standard or regular paper, it is also the best choice for paper crafting and card making.
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).
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.
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. You could kinda call it "more of the same".
A great way to harden cardstock or paper that has already been formed into a paper craft is with acrylic varnish. The best medium to use is spray varnish, which is quick-drying and waterproof and will protect your craft. It will also help to get into any hard-to-reach spaces which liquid varnish could not get to.
Navigate to Paper Settings: In the Printer Properties window, look for the “Paper Settings” or similar options to adjust the card paper settings for your print job.
Is 65 LB or 110 LB Cardstock Thicker? The rule of thumb is, the higher the GSM (grams per square meter), the thicker and heavier the cardstock is. A 65 lb cardstock would have a GSM of 176, whereas a 110 lb cardstock would have a GSM between 270 - 308.
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.
220 - 280gsm - This is perhaps the most common weight used in cardmaking. Light enough to easily go through a printer and die-cutting machine, but sturdy enough for embossing. 280gsm - 350gsm - Getting thicker! This kind of weight is great for a more luxury effect and a far sturdier base.
