Business Postcard Stock by 407print.com

Card stock thickness is often described by pound weight. Pound weight is the weight of 500, 20″ by 26″ sheets. This differs from how text stock is determined, which assumes 500, 25″ by 38″ sheets. Most of the world uses the term grammage to describe the weight of the paper in grams per square meter. The term card stock is used to describe paper with weights from 50# to 110# (about 175 to 400 g/m²) to other thick stock.

In the US, card stock thickness is usually measured in points or mils that gives the thickness of the sheet in thousandths of an inch. For example, a 10 pt card is 0.010″ thick; 12 pt. is 0.012″ and so forth.
