Sixty-five pound weight strikes the practical middle ground between flimsy construction paper and premium cardstock, substantial enough for greeting cards and mounting photos, light enough for scoring and folding without cracking. Pacon manufactures this in consistent colors that maintain their vibrancy without fading, while acid-free composition protects your work from yellowing over time.

The surface accepts most media cleanly: markers don't bleed through, adhesives bond securely, and inkjet printers handle it without jamming. This reliability matters when you're producing multiples for invitations or classroom projects where consistency counts. Teachers appreciate how it cuts cleanly with standard scissors and paper cutters, making prep work faster for group activities.

Stock this for projects where durability matters more than archival permanence, party decorations, school presentations, craft fair signage, prototype mockups. The affordability means you can use it generously for testing layouts or creating samples before committing to expensive specialty papers. Available in multiple color assortments, it covers basic needs without the premium price of artist-grade stock.
