About 20 lb Bond
Keep it for high page counts where cost per page matters. Step to 24 lb or 28 lb when client-facing letters need a little more opacity and polish.

Frequently asked questions
Is 20 lb too thin for color photos?
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.
