cover stock
Heavy printing paper
Cover stock is a heavy, durable paper used for book covers, greeting cards, postcards, and business cards.
It is thicker and stiffer than standard printing paper, typically measured by point weight rather than pound weight.
Cover stock comes in various finishes—glossy, matte, or textured—and provides a sturdy foundation for items that need to withstand handling.
We printed the invitations on 80-pound cover stock.
