About Thick Business Cards

32pt is approximately 0.8mm — noticeably thicker than standard 16pt cards. 48pt is approximately 1.2mm — nearly twice the weight of a standard card. Thicker cards project confidence, substance, and permanence.

Edge treatments (painting and foil) are especially dramatic on thick stock. The paper you choose determines the tactile personality. Cotton feels warm and natural. Silk feels smooth and refined. Soft touch feels like velvet. All three are available at both 32pt and 48pt, giving you six combinations of weight and surface — each one a distinct experience in someone's hand.

How thick is a 48pt business card?

A 48pt business card is approximately 0.048 inches thick, nearly 50% thicker than a 32pt card. It's rigid, weighty and impossible to bend.

What paper options are available for thick business cards?

Three papers: cotton (off-white, uncoated, fibrous texture), silk laminate (smooth satin finish) and soft touch (velvet-like suede texture). All available at 32pt and 48pt.

Can you add foil or spot UV to thick business cards?

Yes. Custom thick cards support hot foil stamping, spot UV, edge painting and edge foil, on 32pt or 48pt stock.

What is the difference between cotton, silk and soft touch paper?

Cotton is uncoated with visible fibre texture and a warm, organic feel. Silk laminate has a smooth, satin-finish coating. Soft touch has a velvet-like lamination that feels like suede.
