Use this paper for printing

You can also make your own business cards look classy. Just make sure you use high-quality paper.

• The standard copy paper that you usually put in your printer is not suitable for this. To make your contact cards look valuable, you need to use printing cardboard. It has a higher density
• While good copy paper usually weighs 80 grams, the cardboard used should weigh at least 160 grams. This information can be found on the outer packaging of the respective product.
• However, check in advance whether your printer can process this density at all to prevent damage to the device. You will find the relevant information in the operating instructions for your device.
