A card stock paper is also called as pasteboard paper or covers stock paper, and is a very high quality paper. These papers are heavy in nature and may be coated or uncoated depending upon choice and thus the name cardstock paper. Card stock paper is usually thicker than regular paper that is used for writing or printing, but flexible than the other paperboards. It may contain colored textures that look rich on one side and may be smooth on the other side. Cards made from this type of paper can be used to make elegant decorative paper with the help of embossing tools.

Card stock papers are generally made from leftover vegetable fibers and are thus eco-friendly in nature. At times mulberry leaves, figs, flowers, silk fibers, tree barks, etc are included in making of card stock paper.

The weight of the paper varies from 10gm to 200gm and in different sizes ranging from 3.5X 5 inches (approximately 8.89 X 12.7 cm) to 12 inches (approximately 30.48 sq. cm).
