What is the best paper for business cards?

Question

I've seen most business cards with 80 or 100 wt paper. I've got a buddy who's business card is 120lb weight and it looks great. I'm wondering what is the best weight, or does it matter that much? Is there a proper business card weight? Please advise...

Answer 1

I had business cards printed at ReducedPrinting.com for free. They used a high gloss 12pt paper (I think that might be equivalent to 120# weight). They came out really thick and the quality was beautiful
