Heavyweight Blank Postcard Paper 4up - Thick 80lb Cover, 250 Sheets

In this review the reviewer examines Desktop Publishing SuppliesTM Heavyweight Blank Postcard Paper, a pack of 250 sheets that yields 1,000 postcards for home or office printing. The bottom line: this product is best for small businesses, event organizers, and DIY marketers who need a heavy, reliable stock that runs through inkjet or laser printers and gives clean results when separated. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a substantial 80lb cover weight and precise microperforations that produce sturdy, professional-looking postcards without tearing.

Key Features

• Heavyweight 80lb cover cardstock: Provides a firm, professional feel that holds ink well and resists bending for mailers and handouts.
• 4up perforated layout: Each 8 1/2' x 11' sheet yields four 4 1/4' x 5 1/2' postcards, letting users print multiple postcards per run to save time and paper.
• Microperforated edge finish: Uses 72 perforations per inch to break apart cleanly and leave neater edges than standard perforations.
• Compatible with inkjet and laser printers: Works with most home and office printers and common design software using the standard 4up postcard template.
• Bulk quantity: The pack of 250 sheets produces 1,000 postcards, making it cost effective for campaigns and bulk mailings.

Who It's For

This cardstock is aimed at small business owners, wedding and event planners, teachers, and crafters who want to print custom postcards at home or in the office on either inkjet or laser devices. It suits anyone producing two-sided prints or full-color graphics who needs a heavier stock that looks and feels professional.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing glossy photo-quality finishes or specialty coated stocks for extremely saturated inkjet images, and high-volume commercial printers who require larger sheet sizes or specialized finishing services.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy 80lb weight gives postcards a premium feel and resists bending in mailings.
• Microperforations separate cleanly for neat edges, making hand distribution easier.
• Consistent printer compatibility-customers report good two-sided alignment and print quality.
• Large pack size offers good value for bulk postcard projects.

Cons

• Not a glossy or photo-coated stock, so ultra-vibrant photo prints may be slightly muted compared with specialty photo paper.
