Printing paper stock options
Paper stock becomes an important factor when you are printing marketing materials and when considering what printing company you want to work with.
When printing materials like business cards, flyers, sell sheets, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, postcards or any other marketing piece you can think of. The paper stock choice tells the prospect you give your marketing materials to more about you and your business than you may think. If you were to give your prospects cheap business cards that look as though you printed that at home, they may look at your business as unprofessional or unstable, after all they probably think you didn't care enough to have them printed on a printing press, which is so much more professional. When you order business cards, postcards, flyers, letterhead, envelopes or any of the other printed media we offer, printing on a thicker paper stock is almost as important as having a website.
