In printing when discussing the thickness of paper in points (pt), the bigger the number, the thicker the paper. So 16pt is thicker than 14pt. 14-point : approximately half the thickness of a credit card. 16-point : 15% thicker than 14-point and slightly thicker than half the thickness of a credit card.
