FAQs

What type of paper is this Kraft card?

This is A4 size Kraft cardstock, known for its natural, unbleached appearance and sturdy texture.

Can I use this card for printing?

While the cardstock can be fed through most printers, the natural texture and color may affect print quality. It is best suited for hand-crafted projects rather than printing.

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 15 sheets of A4 Kraft Card.

Is this card suitable for professional art?

It is excellent for children's art and general crafts. For professional fine art applications requiring archival quality or specific surface finishes, alternative materials might be more suitable.

Can I use glitter glue on this card?

Yes, the cardstock surface is suitable for glitter glue and other craft adhesives.

What are the dimensions of the card sheets?

The sheets are A4 size, which is approximately 210mm x 297mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches).

Is the cardstock acid-free?

The product description does not specify if the cardstock is acid-free. For long-term archival projects, it's advisable to seek materials explicitly labeled as acid-free.

Troubleshooting

Cardstock warps when painting

Use lighter applications of paint and allow each layer to dry before adding more. Alternatively, tape the edges of the cardstock to a flat surface before painting to minimize warping.

Glue or paint bleeds through the card

For heavily liquid mediums, consider applying a thin layer of sealant or primer to the cardstock before decorating. Ensure you are using appropriate adhesives for papercraft.

Markers feather or bleed excessively

Kraft cardstock is porous. For detailed marker work, consider using a different type of cardstock or applying a primer. Test markers in an inconspicuous area first.
