Short answer - as thick as you'd like!

Longer answer: The thickness of Colorplan paper for business cards typically ranges from 270gsm (grams per square meter) to a whopping 1400gsm, providing a wide selection for individuals and businesses to choose from. Our studio offers in-house duplexing of Colorplan papers which enables us to produce business cards in the following weights: 350gsm, 540gsm, 700gsm, 810gsm, 1050gsm and 1400gsm. The only rule of thumb is to glue sheets of the same weight to keep the stock nice and flat.

The choice of Colorplan paper thickness depends on various factors, including personal preference and the desired level of sturdiness for the business cards. A thinner option, such as 350gsm, offers a more lightweight and flexible card, which may be suitable if you're looking for a sleek and elegant feel. On the other hand, a thicker option, such as 540gsm or 700gsm, provides a more substantial and robust card, conveying a sense of luxury and durability. The heavier weights (1000gsm and upwards) are generally used if the finished card is going to be edge gilded with a metallic finish as the thicker card really shows off the metallic edging.

Ultimately, the choice of thickness depends on your brand identity, target audience, and the overall impression you want to create with your Colorplan business cards.
