Springhill 11 x 17 Goldenrod Yellow Colored Cardstock Paper - Premium

In this review of Springhill 11 x 17 Goldenrod Yellow Colored Cardstock Paper, the reviewer finds it best suited for crafters, small business printers, and classroom projects that need a lightweight but sturdy colored cover stock. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a textured, toothy finish and reliable print performance that produces crisp, vibrant results with minimal show-through, making it a practical choice for double-sided prints and projects that will be handled or mailed.

Key Features

• Textured finish: The toothy surface yields crisp ink hold for both color and black-and-white printing, improving image clarity and tactile quality.
• Lightweight 67lb weight: At a cover-style weight that still feeds in many home copiers and printers, it balances rigidity with foldability for cards and tent displays.
• Minimal show-through: The vellum Bristol stock reduces bleed and show-through so double-sided printing looks neater and more professional.
• Printer compatibility: The paper works in copiers, inkjet and laser printers that accept this cover weight, with quick ink-drying to cut smudging and bleed.
• Sustainably sourced: Made in the USA and SFI certified, purchasing helps support replanting and sustainable forestry jobs.
• Die-cut and stamping friendly: The cardstock accepts die-cutting, stamping and folding for a wide range of craft and mail projects.

Who It's For

This cardstock is ideal for hobbyists and makers who create greeting cards, table numbers, paper flowers, tent cards and announcements where a pleasing golden yellow tone and textured feel enhance the finished piece. Small businesses and classrooms that need colored mailers, brochures or printed signage will appreciate the balanced weight and easy handling.

Those who require very heavy cover stock for long-term covers, or need an ultraflat perfectly smooth photographic paper, should look elsewhere; this product emphasizes a textured, vellum feel rather than glossy or heavyweight card cover performance.
