Business card paper thickness is typically measured in points. The higher the point value the thicker the card. Most business cards range from 14–18 pts. Thickness is a personal preference, but it is our opinion that you shouldn't print on anything less than 14pt cardstock, which is why virtually every one of our stock offerings is 14pt or thicker.
