Introductory Overview
"Cover" stock is like a thin cardboard or paperboard; "cover" is a stiffer paper than "text."
The weight of a paper in pounds is a measurement of its density, and therefore weight is not necessarily indicative of thickness. For example our 65# cover is a lightweight paperboard, whereas our 80# text is a high-quality digital semigloss paper, much more flexible than the 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.
