Coating options available on 12pt card stock are gloss aqueous or matte aqueous coating.
  • 16pt Card Stock: A premium option for those looking to really leave a lasting impression! Our ultra-thick 16pt card stock measures to .016” on a micrometer, which means this is a sturdy piece that will really get your message across. Typical uses for our 16pt card stock include business cards, presentation pocket folders, greeting cards and invitations, and flyers.Coating options available on 16pt card stock are matte aqueous both sides, high gloss UV both sides, or high gloss UV on front and matte aqueous on back. Hotcards has recently released an incredible silk laminate coating, which will leave your cards soft to the touch. 16pt silk laminated cards are only available on the 16pt card stock and require a longer turnaround time (approximately 7 business days) than the standard coating options of matte, aqueous, and high gloss UV. The silk laminate coating option is only available for business card orders.
  • 14pt Cardstock: A new release to the Hotcards line, our 14pt card stock is uncoated on one side, which makes it the perfect choice for anyone who needs to write on their Hotcards. 14pt cardstock falls between 12pt and 16pt on the thickness scale at .014”. Due to the nature of uncoated stock, any order placed on 14pt stock may require additional turnaround time
  • 100# Text stock: A standard paper stock that is comparable to the interior pages of a magazine, 100# text stock is the perfect choice for brochures, booklets, posters, and mass produced flyers! This stock cannot be mailed without folding and tabbing. Coating options available: gloss or matte aqueous coating.
  • 70# Uncoated Text Stock: This premium paper stock is thicker than your standard office printer paper and will showcase the professionalism of your brand.
