The 111lb Vice Versa Card Stock is cover stock, not index.

LCI offers a wide selection of professionally scored card stocks in many standard sizes. When you require a different size from what is offered we recommend having your local printer professionally score all card stock. This will guarantee a clean fold and prevent cracking. We sell our papers in many printer friendly sizes from 8 1/2 x 11 to full size parent sheets. Discuss your project with your printer as they will help determine the best sheet size to purchase.

Yes, all our A2 Cards are suitable as postcards. A2 cards are actually an 8 1/2 x 11 card that is cut into quarters. LCI offers the A2 cards cut to size and also the 8 1/2 x 11 card stock. You may want to consider the 8 1/2 x 11 if you have many post cards to print. Doing so would allow you to print 4 to a sheet then cut afterwords. It's a good way to save time! And, usually more economical to purchase the larger sheet. Before preparing a mailing we suggest contacting your local post office to make certain that your collateral is within postal regulations.

Our Gmund Contact Colors translucent papers are 30lb bond which is heavier than many of the vellum sheets on the market. To make certain that this vellum works for your particular application we recommend ordering samples and testing before committing to purchasing a large quantity.

Click add to cart and the samples will be added to your basket.

During our in house tests we found the toner from laser printers did not adhere well to the finish of this card stock. For best printing results we recommend using inkjet printers not laser printers. In particular, printers that are top loading with straight back feeding mechanisms and can handle heavyweight card stocks are recommended. Since Vice Versa is a heavy card stock with a textured finish it may not be suitable for all home printers, therefore we highly recommend testing samples on your printer.

The weight of fine printing papers varies between 70lb Text and 80lb Text, while plain copy paper is typically 20-24lb Text. These weights are perfectly acceptable for printing. However, if your paper is lighter than these, it is a good idea to do a printing test on a few sheets of paper before printing a large quantity.
