Buying advice

When choosing card stock, consider weight (g/m²) and texture. 80-100 lb cover stock is ideal for craft projects. Heavier paper holds up to wet media. For cutting and folding, ensure a smooth finish. If you need archival quality, look for acid-free, lignin-free options. Popular brands like Strathmore and Canson offer reliable quality. Compare prices per sheet for value.
