Why California Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose 18pt Cardstock
18pt Cardstock | Premium Weight Packaging Material
18pt cardstock provides enhanced thickness and sturdiness for premium retail packaging applications.
Stepping Up to Premium
18pt cardstock provides noticeably more substance than standard 14pt, creating packaging with enhanced rigidity and premium feel. The increased thickness communicates quality and justifies higher product pricing.
When to Choose 18pt
Select 18pt cardstock for heavier products, premium positioning, or when packaging needs to convey quality through weight and rigidity. The material cost increase is modest while perceived value increase is significant.
Structural Benefits
The additional thickness improves structural performance - better corner integrity, reduced flex, and improved stacking strength. Products are better protected and packaging maintains appearance through handling.
