750gsm Board vs 250 to 350gsm Cardstock for Bookmarks | Valenna

750gsm Board vs 250โ€“350gsm Cardstock for Bookmarks

Valenna's custom bookmark service uses 750gsm glossy board for a rigid, substantial result that suits gifts and retail stationery. DIY bookmarks made from 250 to 350gsm cardstock are lighter and more flexible, and are not the stock we use.
