Paper Types Gallery

Match everyday words like thick card or foldable flyer to stocks CheapFAST actually prints.

A wedding stationer says they want a thick invite feel. We point to the card stocks we actually run, then mail a sample kit so hands confirm the screen. A church office wants flyer paper that still folds. We show the book-weight family, then we quote the sheet we stock.

This gallery is not a promise of foil, silk, or 34 pt. Those chips stay off until they are on the live form. Feel the family with the free sample kit.

14 pt gloss cover

Standard thick card. Smooth gloss face.

16 pt gloss cover

Heavier card. Still a catalog chip, not 34 pt or silk.

100 lb gloss book

Flyer and postcard text-weight that still folds.

100 lb matte book

Less shine. Good for heavy type and write-on areas.

24 lb bond

Office copy paper. Not a card stock.

80 lb gloss text

Brochure and booklet interiors.

13 oz vinyl

Outdoor banner material. Not paper.

4 mm corrugated plastic

Yard-sign board. Pair with H-wire when that chip is on the form.

Matching CheapFAST paper words to stocks we actually run

Answer first: read the stock name, then click the product that actually uses it. 14 pt gloss cover is the everyday card. 16 pt is heavier. 100 lb gloss book is the flyer that still folds. 24 lb bond is the copy sheet. 13 oz vinyl is a banner. 4 mm corrugated plastic is a yard sign. If a wedding stationer says thick invite and means something we do not chip, we say so and mail a kit.

How we talk to customers about feel

People say cardstock, brochure paper, and poster paper. We translate. Cardstock here is 14 pt or 16 pt cover. Brochure interiors are often 80 lb or 100 lb text. Posters follow the poster form, not this sentence. The live form is truth.

A Pompano cafe wanted write-on flyers. We pointed at 100 lb matte book, then still asked them to feel the kit. Screens lie about glare. Matte hides fingerprints. Gloss pops photos. Neither changes the FREE ground tag on the flyer quote to ZIP 33140.

What this gallery refuses

It refuses to list foil as if it were in every cart. It refuses to call 24 lb bond a card. It refuses lobby pickup. If you need six sheets tonight, a walk-up shop wins. If you need 500 flyers on a doorstep with ground already in the number, this gallery plus the flyer form wins.

Call (855) 608-5536 if your job mixes a card and a banner in one box. We can talk through two product pages. This gallery will not invent a single stock that does both.

A feel conversation we have every week

Someone says they want it thick. We ask whether they mean a wallet card or a flyer that must fold. Thick flyer stock that refuses to fold cracks toner and looks like a mistake. 16 pt cover is a card. 100 lb book is a flyer. 24 lb bond is a copy. Saying those sentences out loud prevents a reprint.

Someone says they want it fancy. We ask whether fancy means gloss UV, or a stock we do not chip. If the form has no silk chip, silk is not for sale on that URL. The free sample kit is how you feel the family we do run. Hands in Hialeah beat a hex color on a phone.

Outdoor versus indoor

13 oz vinyl and 4 mm corrugated plastic live on this gallery so people stop ordering 14 pt cards for a lawn. Cards die in rain. Yard signs take H-wire when that chip is on. Banners take grommets when the banner form lists them. Custom Orders is for extra grommets the chip does not list.

How this gallery stays honest

Each card links the products that use that stock today. If we add a stock, we add a row. If we retire a stock, we delete the row. We do not keep a romantic list of papers we wish we sold. Last reviewed sits at the bottom. Ground shipping stays inside the linked product totals. Call (855) 608-5536 if a linked product form no longer shows that stock. The form wins.

Coatings versus stocks

Gloss UV is a coating. 14 pt gloss cover is a stock that already has a gloss face. People mix those words. If the form has a UV both chip, that is extra scuff protection on the card you already picked. If the form has no UV chip, do not write UV in a note and expect a match to a coated quote from another shop.

Matte book is for type-heavy flyers and write-on fields. Gloss book is for food photos. Bond is for packets and copies. Vinyl is for weather. Corrugated plastic is for lawns. Saying the product name after the stock name keeps the quote on the right URL.

A 33140 gallery wanted a thick invite and meant a folded card. Folded cards are a sibling product, not 16 pt cover cut as a flat. We sent them to the folded card form when that chip exists, or to Custom Orders if it does not. This gallery will not pretend a flat card is a fold.

Order the kit if your hands disagree with this page. Then quote. Ground stays inside the product total. Call (855) 608-5536 if a stock row links a product that no longer lists it. We will edit the row. The form still wins.

Copies versus flyers versus cards, said again with products

49 color copies on 24 lb bond is a packet. 500 flyers on 100 lb gloss book is a handout. 250 cards on 14 pt gloss is a wallet. If you order copies when you meant flyers, the sheet feels thin in a driveway. If you order cards when you meant rack cards, the die is wrong. This gallery exists so those three sentences stay separate.

Booklets use cover plus text weight. Do not assume the cover stock is the same as the 14 pt card. Open Booklets on the form. If a chip is missing, it is not for sale. Email support@cheapfastprinting.com and we will say so. Ground still sits inside the booklet packed total when that form exists.

CheapFAST brochure stock that still folds on a 100 lb book sheet
A church that wants a flyer that folds needs book weight, not 16 pt cover. This gallery is that translation.
CheapFAST 14 pt gloss cards, the everyday thick card feel
Thick card on this site usually means 14 pt or 16 pt gloss cover, not a mystery 34 pt chip we do not sell here.

Questions we answer on this bench

Can I feel the paper before a big run?

Yes. Order the free sample kit. Hands beat a screen. The kit is mailed. Ground shipping on product orders stays inside the print price. The kit is a separate mailer.

Do you sell silk, foil, or 34 pt here?

Only when that chip is on a live form. This gallery does not promise a stock the form does not list. If the chip is missing, it is not for sale on that URL.

What should I pick for outdoor signs?

Vinyl banners use 13 oz vinyl. Yard signs use 4 mm corrugated plastic and H-wire when that chip is on the yard-sign form. Those are not paper.
