What paper weight is used for business cards?
Beginner
Quick answer
Compare paper samples by weight, thickness, stiffness and finish. Cards may use stocks around 300–400 gsm or heavier and duplex constructions, but gsm alone does not determine quality or suitability. If a speciality brand such as Mohawk or Crane is required, confirm the specific stock and availability with Craftarea before preparing finishing artwork.
