What Is the Best Paper Type or Thickness for Brochures, Flyers, or Business Cards?

Choosing the right paper type and thickness is crucial to making your brochure, flyers or business cards look professional and durable. Here’s a quick guide to help you select the best option for your print materials:

• Business Cards: For a premium feel, go with 16pt or 18pt cardstock. This thickness offers durability and a professional touch. If you want something more eco-friendly, 14pt recycled paper is a great option.
• Brochures: The ideal paper for brochures is typically 100lb text weight or 80lb to 100lb gloss cover. This gives a sturdy, high-quality feel without being too heavy. Glossy paper enhances colors and images, while matte offers a sophisticated, non-reflective finish.
• Flyers: For flyers, 100lb gloss text or 80lb cover stock is often the best choice. These options strike a balance between lightweight and durability, making them ideal for handouts or mailing. For a more luxurious feel, choose 14pt or 16pt cardstock.

At Brochure King, we offer a wide range of paper types and thicknesses to match your specific needs and budget.
