We use lots of card stock from Staples. I live in a retirement community and spend all day Saturday creating cards. Some cards we keep for ourselves some cards we sell at our once a month craft sale and some of the cards we send out. We have started a welcoming committee and plan to make cards to give out to the new residents of our park. What better way to say hi and welcome to our family of friends. This is a nice easy craft that our seniors can make. They really feel good to be able to create an item and share with others. I have a daughter who is a teacher and sends out lots of cards so I make her several
If you print your own cards from your computer don't buy the more expensive brand named card stock get the Staples Card Stock and save yourself some money. We use it often and find it works just as well. It is also handy for other uses when a heavier paper is needed. It is easy to find in the section where paper is displayed. We like to make our own Birthday cards Valentine's Day Halloween Thanksgiving Easter Anniversary Thank You Get Well and other cards using both the Hallmark and the Create-a-Card programs. We also buy quarter fold and half fold sized envelopes at Staples.
We needed to prints signs for the Brevard MS Walk to distribute in our area and needed card stock to print on. The card stock was just what we needed good price and Staples almost always has some sale on.
The cardstock works well for making cards and calenders. The calenders I print on directly and the paper is heavy enough that it doesn't curl up. This cardstock also cost less than the 65 lb. paper.
We use this card stock to make tray tags for mail trays. It works great - just stiff enough to slide into the tag sleeve but not to thick or expensive. It's a good buy!
I use this paper for printing little cards to ship with my products. It's a good heavy stock that works well and saves me a ton on printing costs. Since I'm using this paper for a "throwaway" card that customers don't keep I can't speak to its durability for longer-term use.
