I use card stock for card making and this 110 lb CS is a good weight for cards. I have not had any bleed through of ink or makers with this white CS. When scoring a card the "dent" does not tear the CS. When the card is folded you have to use the bone folder to flatten the score line making a smooth fold. With cheap / light weight CS the fold score line splits and frays and it just flattens without pressure - not good! The outer edges of the CS are smooth and truly "square". I use Staples brand 4 3/4 X 5 3/4 white envelopes which match the shade of the white paper. (You didn't ask but the Staples ivory 110 lb CS and ivory envelopes also match.)
Staples brand of card stock is every bit as good as a name brand card stock paper. I have been using their card stock to make greeting cards for many years now. It runs smoothly through my printer. Ink bonds well to the surface without any smudging. I have even used it to print photos on. Their color card stock is excellent quality as well. I also use the Staples brand envelopes to mail my greeting cards that I make using their card stock paper. It is excellent quality for the price you pay.
