What is the difference between text and cover weight paper?
Text weight paper is slightly lighter in weight and thickness than cover weight paper. For most projects, you can use either type of paper, depending on the thickness you want your final design to be. For RSVP cards or anything that will be sent directly through the mail, cover weight paper is the best option. If your card or invitation includes lots of layers, try using cover weight paper for the base (providing stability) and using text weight for the layers, to reduce bulk. Remember, a heavier, bulkier invitation may cost more in postage to send. We recommend you experiment with both types of paper to get your desired outcome. If you are printing, we recommend you test both types of paper with your home printer to make sure the paper is compatible with your printer and gives you the results you want.
