Excellent weight for post cards

I purchased this card stock to do a post card mailing using the Post Office's Every Day Direct Mail (EDDM) program. This 110 lb stock was the perfect weight not flimsy. It accepted the ink very well. I printed on both sides. The paper has a mat finish.
My daughter is getting married on Saturday and we made diy programs which double as fans (since a wedding in July in Virginia is likely to be pretty warm!) We printed it with our home printer...print quality/color is wonderful. Then folded in half sprayed with spray adhesive put a tongue depressor/craft stick between the two pieces and came up with a beautiful program. When the guests sit down on Saturday it's nice to know they'll have sturdy fans to keep cool while also knowing what is happening next! Thanks for keeping your quality Staples!
I have a Hallmark Card Program and make cards that can compete with store bought cards. I use the Staples Card Stock paper which is the right weight and the right price to make nice cards that are enjoyed by the recipients. In this day and age of rising costs I look for a good quality product at the right price. This card stock paper is it!
This card stock is extremely good. It is durable. It prints up very well. The items made using it last a long time. The ink sits well on the paper. I have also put contact paper on it. The contact paper adheres well to it.
I love the fact that you can purchase a big quantity per package at a great price point. I would constantly run out of cardstock when I purchased the smaller package at a local other store. Overall the price is way lower for the amount you receive. I have used the cardstock to make student centers flashcards and crafting for my own personal use. No matter what the task at hand is this cardstock is the perfect pick. It's also great to use with laminating film. It's not flimsy and holds up well.
This package of card stock is a life savor when it comes to being a teacher. I teach young students who have difficulty keeping things neat and bend all of their papers so I use card stock for almost everything that I print out. When I create my own materials I also use card stock and then laminate the card stock after I have what I want printed on it. The card stock is more durable and when it is laminated it is also easy to cut. By using this card stock it allows for my materials that I work hard on creating to last longer. I would highly recommend this product.
In our office there are many times that we will send out thank you cards to people or organizations that make donations to Greater Lynchburg Habitat For Humanity. This card stock allows us to personalize the cards so that it is never generic. It makes it easy for us to go that extra mile in expressing our gratitude for the generosity of this community. The card stock is great quality. I like the idea that we can order in a variety of colors that personalizes it even more. The one thing that I caution is be sure that you are working with a printer that will be able to feed it correctly. Because of the stiffness of the card stock a winding around type printer will be very difficult to work with.
