A: Hello - While USPS doesn't specify paper weight, a minimum thickness of 7pt is required, which corresponds to a paper weight of 65-80 lb cover stock. This item is 65 lb cover stock so it will meet the USPS thickness requirements. Thank you!

A: This paper is smooth and matte, like a normal cardstock. It is made by Neenah, which is the highest quality cardstock. Yes, color pencils, calligraphy pen and copic markers work beautifully on it.

A: Yes it is thick enough to make greeting cards. It takes ink really well with no bleeding, scores well and has no issues going through the Cricut and/or printer.

A: Yes, some people use this cardstock to make business cards. They would be lighter vs what you would likely get through a professional print shop but it will have no issue going through your printer. As a basis of comparison, normal copy paper is 20 lb paper and this is 65 lb paper so it's significantly heavier than normal copy paper. It's also a bright white so the information you put on your business card will display nicely.
