Beware, the 110lb weight rating of this card stock is based on INDEX weight, not COVER STOCK weight, which is what cardstock weights are typically given in.

Meaning that if you went to a professional printer or stationery and asked for 110 lb cardstock, the paper they would give you is about 50% thicker than this stuff that Staples is calling "110 lb." I guess it's technically not false advertising since they don't actually specify which weight basis they are using, but it certainly plays on the average buyer's lack of knowledge about paper/cardstock weight ratings.

How did I figure this out? Because 110 lb cover stock has a density of 298 grams/meter squared, but Staples glorified copier paper has a density of 199 g/m^2. Big difference when you're trying to use it for an application that requires a stiff, heavy paper.

My recommendation is to visit a real print or stationery shop if you need something substantial.

            Purchased this item to create and print "Joys and Sorrows" cards for our church which are placed in every hymnal. Previously we had used a different quality of product which did not seem to hold up very well. After several years we decided to spend our time looking for something that we could print on with our laser printer and then cut with our home paper cutter to fit inside the hymnals. We chose this cardstock because we felt it would work perfectly for our task at hand. We were pleasantly surprised by the high quality and low cost of this card stock.

            I make all my own cards for every holiday, birthday, and event so a good card stock is needed for that. My only problem is that there is no score down the area where one folds the card. But I am ok with that because I am pretty good at folding it well.

              Staples kept answering it's 18 pt paper and heavier. But the other customers said it's INDEX and not COVER weight. Could you please tell me the GSM weight to clarify this confusion?
