**Quantity Limits** Cut cards have a 20 pack quantity limit. If you require a larger quantity, please request a custom order. Custom cut orders are not returnable or refundable.

To assist you in selecting the ideal paper for your project, we offer **single sheets** for color matching and testing with your specific application. We strongly recommend testing samples before purchasing in quantity.

**Printing:** Cardstock Warehouse provides best-practice recommendations for printing and other applications, based on our in-house testing and specifications from the manufacturing paper mills. Most of our papers are compatible with conventional printing and processing methods; however, we cannot guarantee performance due to the wide variety of consumer and professional printers, processing equipment, inks, adhesives, and techniques. Each may produce different results on the same paper. If you plan to use a professional printer or converter, we recommend consulting them directly.

**Color:** We take great care to photograph product colors accurately, but device screens and monitors may vary. Photographs are intended as a guide only. When exact color is critical, **order samples** before placing a larger order. Note: Color may vary slightly from one run to another.

**Industry Cutting Tolerance:** We use commercial electronic guillotine cutters and precision cutting/scoring equipment to cut paper and cardstock products to industry-standard tolerances of **±1/32" to 1/16" (approximately ±0.8 mm to 1.6 mm)** in either direction for finished size. This range accounts for normal mechanical variables including blade condition, material properties, clamping pressure, and sheet alignment.

Cardstock Warehouse Paper Co, Inc. is not liable for any incidental or consequential damages or losses related to color, printing, application results, or information provided—whether verbal, written, or on this website. Final responsibility for outcomes rests with the customer.
