What is the average paper thickness of a good business card?
Martin, thanks for the question. Business card thickness depends on the business card. If you’re printing plastic business cards, they’re usually the size of a credit card in terms of thickness. That usually equates to .020″ to .030″. If you’re printing paper business cards, that a different story, and different measurement.
Traditional business cards usually measure somewhere between 12 and 16 pts. I personally prefer business cards to be 16 pts. That makes them thick enough to be a very professional card, but not so thick they don’t fit in any kind of business card holder.
Hope that helps!
