What is text weight? Text weight papers are light weight papers used for writing, printing, or copy machine weight papers.

What is cover weight? Cover weight or cardstock is a heavy weight paper.

How is the weight determined? Text weight and cover weight papers are determined by weighing 500 parent sheets (typically 26" x 40").

What does the weight number mean? The higher the pound of the cardstock, the heavier the cardstock is.

Are all the papers listed on your site in cover weight? No, both the Mulberry and the Vellum is text weight.

Are your cardstocks and specialty papers printable? All cardstocks, metallics, and vellums are printable. We do not recommend printing on Mulberry because it is a text weight and very light weight. We do not recommend printing on the Pearl, Wave, Reptile, Embossed, Polish, or Pinstripe cardstocks due to their finishes.

Can I print on the Mulberry Paper? Mulberrys are a 13# text weight. You can mount the mulberry to cardstock to give it the thickness needed to go through your printer. I recommend Super 77 Multipurpose Spray Adhesive by 3M.

Are your cardstocks the same color on both sides and when torn? Yes, true cardstocks are the same color throughout. It is actually the pulp that is colored through the paper making process. Cardstock you may have used or seen elsewhere that is white on the back side or has a white edge when torn is not true cardstock but is printed cardstock. The color has been printed on white cardstock.

Are your specialty papers the same color on both sides? Vellums, mulberrys, and metallics are the same on both sides and throughout. The specialty papers that have been printed on white cardstock are: pearls, waves, reptile, embossed, mirri, polish, and pinstripe.

How can I tell the actual color of a cardstock/paper? All computer monitors are calibrated differently which determines how the color is viewed. We recommend purchasing the Chip Chart for accurate determination of colors.

Do you send samples? Yes, we will send up to 6, 8.5 x 11 sample sheets for a fee of $6. To order samples, please send an email to discountcardstock@yahoo.com.
