Card Stock for Programs

I bought 110, the diy sites for different programs seem to all recommend 110. And its still thin enough to not be a problem for most home printers.

Hope that helps.

Thanks! I was planning on printing it at work so I don't have to deal with flipping the pages over. Am I able to fold 110 without it being to rigid?

65 will be fine. I am doing my invites and STDs on 110lb. and all my inserts and programs are 65lb. I guess it depends on the type of program. If you are doing Fans, than definitely use the 110. If it folded program, the 65 will work.

I would say so yea. Im not entirely sure how/what you mean but I used the same cardstock for my activity books and didn't have a problem folding them over

I have 90lb cardstock next to me (what I used was heavier) and it seems pretty light so wouldn't be an issue with folding. However, if the 110 is an issue (which it shouldn't be) you can easily score it to fold it neatly. I think the 65lb pack will likely feel very similar to regular paper, based on how the 90lb feels.

I use 80lb cover stock. It's not as thick. 65 lb shooould be okay. You can always go to Office Max's printing section and ask to feel their paper if you're unsure.

I'm just using a basic template from Publisher and it prints on both sides and you fold in half...hmmmm I think I'll go back to office max and see what they have that I can feel lol

You might need to use an embossing tool to fold 110lb

65 lb is definitely the better choice if you're going to fold it, 110 lb tends to look really sloppy folded.

It only gets weird when you start to smell the paper. I've gotten looks.

Now you all are confusing me lol

Haha, ECM I was a manager at a print shop and I would smell the paper all the time because of the different glosses on them.

If you are buying it at an office supply store go to the print section and have them let you sample the different papers. They shouldn't have a problem with it.

If you plan on just folding it in half (like a booklet), what you have should be fine.

And the 65 doesn't feel super cheap does it? I felt the 32 or somewhere around that and definitely was not a fan of that

Are we speaking English?

Lol OTW all I know is there are different numbers and the higher it is the thicker the paper is

My programs are petal fans (so I needed them to be a little more rigid). My activity books are folded in half horizontally and sewn together. With the 110 paper I just used the back of a butter knife and a straight edge to score (dent) where I wanted it folded and it folded easily and smoothly.

Where I worked the 65 didn't feel cheap, however it wasn't as smooth as the 110. The 110 we had was awesome, but even in our folding machine it looked like crap. 32 is a huuuuge difference, like it's used for flyers and brochures, not something heavy.

I found this, if it helps
