Paper weight (For business cards, branding materials)

~OsmosisStudios Jun 25, 2012

I'm working on a graphic design / branding materials project and am looking for some input on paper weights. I'm looking for something VERY thick. My girlfriend has business cards (given to her by her big-business media company) that I love: they barely bend, probably close to 2mm thick.

Does anyone know what kind of weight that might be? Without feeling it, I know it's hard, but a good guess would be nice. Either in LB or GSM ratings.

I'm looking for black and white stock for the branding materials: black for some cards, white for others, and white for some other items.

Can you ask your sister the name of the company and contact them directly for the information, because 2mm just sounds really thick to me.

I don't know how its going to be with 2mm because its too thick. I have this idea before of making a business card of my own but when it comes to business we have to think more serious.So i asked the help of some professional outside. I ordered from outside. Maybe they can help you with all your doubts.

Lol 2mm, you'd be able to carry only like 2-3 of them in your wallet

You'd be amazed at these cards she got then. They're less than 2mm, but not by much.

2mm sounds awfully thick. I don't know what paper would act like that, but sounds like something over 300gsm, maybe even 400gsm.
