Review on Hammermill Green Cardstock, 110 lb, 8.5 x 11 Colored Cardstock, 1 Pack (200 Sheets) - Thick Card Stock, Made in the USA, High-Quality Color Paper, 168330R by Wendy Rodriguez

Definitely not a 110 lb box

I have used Hammermill paper of various weights for many years. Putting this next to the 100lb Hammermill cardstock paper, the 100lb Hammermill paper is significantly heavier than the alleged 110lb Hammermill paper. I figured those reviews questioning/doubting the thickness of this paper were from people who had unreasonable expectations of what 110 pounds would feel/look like. None of the apples I saw mentioned comparing apples to apples to paper from the same manufacturer of greater or lesser thickness/weight. If you use a rotary cutter, you'll find that you can cut more sheets of 110-pound Hammermill paper than 100-pound Hammermill paper. It is clear that either 100lb is underrated or 110lb is overrated. I compare Hammermill to Hammermill. Buy 100lb box as it is actually much thicker and heavier than this 110lb box. The only benefit this card has over a £110 card is that it curls a little less in a laser printer.

Pros
  • SUSTAINABLY MADE IN THE USA - Hammermill card stock is certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative Inc. (SFI). 100% Made in the USA, it helps support 2.4 million sustainable forestry jobs in America, including family tree growers.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
