Introductory Overview
"Cover" stock is a thin cardboard or paperboard; "cover" is a stiffer paper than "text."
Stock weight is expressed in pounds (abbreviated to the # symbol). The weight of a paper in pounds is a measurement of its density, and therefore weight is not necessarily indicative of thickness. For example a 65# cover is a lightweight paperboard, whereas 80# text is a high-quality paper for letterhead or books; text paper is much more flexible than cover stock.
Presently all our standard items print on some type of cover stock.
Recycled stocks are graded by their post-consumer content. Generally, a stock must contain a minimum of 30% post-consumer fiber to be considered a recycled paper.
Cover Weight Paper
Cover stocks are more heavy duty and durable; they perform excellently as stock for business cards, trifold brochures, flyers, postcards and mailers.
