8.5"x11" 50-Sheet Bright White Cardstock 65 lb- Astrodesigns: Uncoated 65 lb Cover Stock, Pack of 50, Letter Size

A: Hello Faithhologen - Congratulations on your accomplishments! Yes, you can absolutely print certificates and awards on Astrodesigns Cardstock. The great news is that it’s acid- and lignin-free, so your certificates won’t yellow over time. Just remember to adjust your printer settings to “cardstock” so it feeds smoothly. If you prefer a more traditional look, you can also use Southworth Ivory Resume Paper. Like Astrodesigns, it’s acid- and lignin-free, but it’s slightly lighter in weight than cardstock. Thanks for your question, and happy printing!

A: Hi Faithhalogen, thank you for your question! Yes - this 65 lb. white cardstock is an excellent choice for creating awards and certificates. For best results, we recommend setting your printer to a cardstock or heavy paper setting and doing a trial run to ensure the end output meets your expectations.

A: Hi Alani, Thanks for your question! Our Astrodesigns Bright White Cardstock features a plain bright white cardstock sheet with a smooth, uncoated finish. They are not pre-printed or textured, making them ideal for crafting, card making, invitations, printing, scrapbooking, and other DIY projects.

A: Hi Creative Mermaid, Yes! With a 97 brightness rating, our Bright White Cardstock has a clean, bright look that makes text sharp and easy to read.

A: Hi Betsy, the weight of this package is 1.18 lbs. Thanks!

A: Hello - While USPS doesn't specify paper weight, a minimum thickness of 7pt is required, which corresponds to a paper weight of 65-80 lb cover stock. This item is 65 lb cover stock so it will meet the USPS thickness requirements. Thank you!

A: This paper is smooth and matte, like a normal cardstock. It is made by Neenah, which is the highest quality cardstock. Yes, color pencils, calligraphy pen and copic markers work beautifully on it.

A: Yes it is thick enough to make greeting cards. It takes ink really well with no bleeding, scores well and has no issues going through the Cricut and/or printer.

A: Yes, some people use this cardstock to make business cards. They would be lighter vs what you would likely get through a professional print shop but it will have no issue going through your printer. As a basis of comparison, normal copy paper is 20 lb paper and this is 65 lb paper so it's significantly heavier than normal copy paper. It's also a bright white so the information you put on your business card will display nicely.
