LUXPaper 8.5 in x 14 in Sterling Gray Linen Cardstock - 100lb 1,000

In this review of the LUXPaper 8.5 in x 14 in Sterling Gray Linen Cardstock the bottom line is simple: this pack is best for designers, printers and crafters who need a durable, textured legal-size cover stock in a neutral gray. The reviewer found the medium gray tone and woven linen texture give a professional, tactile finish that elevates invitations, certificates and presentation pieces. With a full pack of 1,000 sheets at 100lb weight, the sheet count and heft make it a sensible choice for medium-run projects and in-house printing.

Key Features

• Quantity: A pack of 1,000 sheets supplies enough stock for batches of invites, programs or mailings without frequent reordering.
• Size: Legal 8.5 in x 14 in format is ready for forms, brochures and projects that need extra length without trimming.
• Weight: The 100lb cover weight provides stiffness and durability for folding, scoring and hand-delivered pieces that must feel substantial.
• Finish: Sterling Gray Linen offers a woven texture and medium gray color that reads as premium and hides light fingerprints or smudges.
• Printer friendly: Compatible with laser, inkjet, digital and offset presses so it works across common production workflows.
• Versatility: Suitable for crafting, certificates, ticketing, scrapbooking and custom die-cut or trimmed projects.

Who It's For

This cardstock is aimed at creative professionals and small businesses that produce printed materials in-house or with short-run printers, such as event planners making invitations, photographers mounting prints, or offices creating durable certificates. The 8.5 in x 14 in size is especially useful for designers who need legal-size layouts or want to trim down to custom formats while retaining a high-quality edge.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who only need small quantities, want bright or coated finishes, or require lightweight text stock for bulk mailing. If you need glossy photo paper or ultra-thin pages for mass mailers, a different paper type will be a better fit.
