Card stock , also called cover stock or whiteboard , is a thicker and more durable paper stock than either plain or printed paper, but thinner and more flexible than other forms of cardboard.
Card stock is often used for business cards, postcards, playing cards, catalog covers, scrapbooking, and other uses that require higher durability than ordinary paper. The texture is usually smooth, but can be textured, metallic, or glossy. When card stock is labeled as cover stock often has a coated layer on one side or both sides ( C1S or C2S , for "coated: one side "or" coated: two sides ") to produce a smooth glossy and texture look, primarily used for printing business cards and book covers.

Measurement
Most countries use the term grammage to describe the weight of paper in grams per square meter. The terms card stock are used to describe papers with weights from 50 pounds to 110 pounds (about 135 to 300 g/m 2 ). Alternatively, gramatures can be expressed in terms of weight per number of sheets, pound weight - paper weight of 500 sheets 20 with 26 in (508 x 660 mm).
In the US, the thickness of the card stock is usually measured in points or miles which is the thickness of the sheet in thousandths of an inch. For example, 10 pt. card 0.010 in (0.254 mm) thick (roughly corresponding to the weight of 250 g/m 2 ), and 12 pt. is 0.012 in (0.3048 mm). The US Stock Card Thickness Point Thickness is 0.001 "- not to be confused with the size of typography points, where 1 point = 1/12 traditional pica = exactly 0.01383 inches = 0.35136 mm.
Paper size using ISO system is often used for card stock. The card stock size can be labeled as A3 (420 ÃÆ'â € "297 mm or 16.5 ÃÆ'â €" 11.7 inches) referring to the ISO Standard system, rather than using a physical dimension to describe its size.
