Card Stock

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.
This is a quality heavy duty card stock paper. I've had great luck with this product in the past. This is the first time I've used the white stock. It holds ink well keeping colors bright. It is heavy enough for printing greeting cards and place cards for meetings. It needs to be reinforced to be used for signs that need to stand up. I will continue to use this product for thank you cards and greeting cards. I think it is a good fit for business cards and thank you notes if you intend to print a small quantity.
I have found several uses for this card stock. I always use it to print off photos. For some reason my printer does not like the glossy photo paper but loves this card stock. So my photos look good enough to frame or to give to others. I also use this card stock to make cards - gift cards name tags recipe cards place cards and tent cards. The tent cards can be used in entertaining especially at a buffet to designate food and drinks. So the Staples Card Stock is the way to go!!
