16 pt Premium Matte
16 pt Premium Matte is the upgrade path when classic 14 pt feels too thin. The board is noticeably stiffer, the face is modern and low-glare, and specialty raised finishes on many card products target this stock family.
Feel
Modern sleek premium matte cover
Real-world compare
Modern matte cover with a smooth finish. Specialty raised foil / raised UV finishes typically apply to this stock family.
Best for
Executives, realtors, luxury brands
Good to know
Gloss Cover is a separate option on products that sell both finishes.
About 16 pt Premium Matte
Realtors, executives, and photo-forward brands use 16 pt Matte when the handshake card should feel like a keep-forever piece. Colors stay rich without mirror shine. Compare 18 pt Smooth White when you want one more step of thickness, or Soft-Touch when you want a velvet laminated feel.

Frequently asked questions
Does 16 pt Matte support specialty finishes?
Is matte writable?
The note said thick card, and two different stocks could have matched
An order note said thick card and nothing else. Two stocks could have matched that phrase, and they print and feel different. We built the paper gallery so a vague word can be matched to the real sheet and to the products that use it.
Browse it yourself for free before you pick a stock. Send the file with the note and we name the sheet for you at no charge. You can still feel that sheet in the sample kit. Vague paper words are why this gallery exists.
Is this paper gallery what 55printing uses when quoting stock?
Yes. We use it to match everyday words like thick card or foldable flyer to stocks we actually print. We keep updating which products use each sheet, and we pair the gallery with the sample kit so you can feel the same family of paper.
Paper choice sits next to samples, Design Studio, and file tools
After you pick a stock you may still need a sample kit, a guideline file, or a Word-to-PDF. Those are the same tools we use after the gallery conversation. We keep them all improving.
