Heavy Weight Materials

Hi Guys!

I often get asked where I source the heavier weight cardstock and vellum etc for large 3D and construction projects that I use in my samples and demostrations. To be honest, I do a lot of searching around to find great prices as I often buy in bulk so this list might be of interest to you too 🙂

Warning! – Do not be tempted by frosted covers, they do not stick to any glue or tape 😉

 

If you know of any other heavy weight materials (cardstock above 300gsm, Vellum above 150gsm, acetate above 220 microns) that have great prices, let me know and I’ll add them to the list. I will also try to keep an eye on the price fluctuations at Amazon.
