Heavy Cardstock

I am looking for chocolate brown cardstock but thick to use as the base for our menu. I went to Michael's and they have brown cardstock but it is flimsy not the heavy kind. Am I looking in the wrong place? Can anyone recommend where I can go??? TIA

Re: Heavy Cardstock

they have lots of heavy paper at staples check there for your color- ask they may be able to order it- can't hurt to ask

Re: Heavy Cardstock

i searched far and wide for gold cardstock of nice quality and I couldnt find any!!(note i never tried paper presentation which ive heard has a nice variety but i didnt want to travel to NYC for paper)

i ordered online. i got my ivory paper from paperandmore.com and my gold heavy cardstock from mygatsby.com (pricer) but the quality is EXCELLENT! i can rave about both of them!

try googling for discount codes!!

oh any my DOC was over my house and saw my programs and even commented how nice the paper is!

Re: Heavy Cardstock

There is a huge paper store in Farmingdale right off of 110. I can't think of the name right now, but it is on that block that is right next to Target. They are only open M-F, and only til 5pm, so I've never been able to get there, but my mom has gotten cardstock from there for some of our projects.

i am not sure what the exact weight is, but I know that I've ordered card stock before and compared to what is considered card stock at Michael's it was a lot thicker I just didn't want to have to order online again..but I guess I have no choice...

Re: Heavy Cardstock

michaels has really nice cardstock ...esp. the textured kind ... did you see all the rows of loose paper? They also have it in packs - i got a pack that had ivory, beige, green, gold (dark yellow, not really gold) anf brown for 3.99. going back tomorrow to get more since I underestimated how many i needed for my menus.

If you live close to huntington ... there is a store called huntington business products, basically an office store - and they sell cardstock in big sheets. I think it's $1.19? I bought some in choc brown. It's on main st. (25A) across from the library.

What are you using it for?

I think 110/120 lb is the heavy cardstock.They give you a little tutorial on how to determine the weight.

I bought one on sale there and didnt check the weight and it ended up being regular paper. It was the color I needed so I just printed my menus on it and glued it to black heavy cardstock.
