Why Choose 14pt Cardstock
14pt Cardstock — Lightweight Precision for Cosmetics, Supplements, and Compact Retail Packaging
14pt cardstock (approximately 0.014 inches or 350 microns thick) is the lightest standard folding carton specification, optimized for small-format packaging where structural integrity is maintained by box geometry rather than board mass. Cosmetic cartons for mascara, lipstick, and foundation; pharmaceutical blister-pack cartons; supplement boxes; and compact consumer electronics accessories are the primary 14pt applications.
The lower caliper reduces material cost per unit and reduces the dimensional weight contribution of the packaging itself — valuable considerations for high-volume applications where cost efficiency is as important as print quality. 14pt SBS provides the same clay-coated print surface as heavier boards, maintaining full print quality at reduced thickness.
When 14pt is the Right Specification
14pt cardstock is appropriate when the box structure — not the board mass — provides the required rigidity. Small, compact boxes derive structural integrity from their geometry: the score lines, fold angles, and closure mechanisms create a rigid structure without requiring heavy board. Large, tall boxes with long unsupported panels need heavier board to resist bowing. Our structural team analyzes each box design to determine the minimum board weight that maintains performance.
14pt in Automated Pharmaceutical Packaging
14pt SBS is the dominant specification for pharmaceutical folding carton packaging run on high-speed cartoning machines. The thinner board reduces the mass inserted per cycle on the cartoning machine, allowing higher speeds without inertia-related misfeeds. The consistent caliper of premium SBS at 14pt also ensures reliable magazine feeding and carton opening.

14pt Cardstock Packaging in Delaware — FAQs
Is 14pt too thin for retail packaging?
14pt is appropriate for small, compact retail packaging where box geometry provides structural support. For taller boxes, wider boxes with long unsupported panels, or products requiring maximum shelf presence, 18pt or 24pt is recommended. Our structural team assesses your specific box dimensions for appropriate board weight.
What products are standardly packaged in 14pt cardstock?
Mascara, lipstick, eyeliner, and other small cosmetics; pharmaceutical blister-pack cartons; supplement capsule boxes; single-serve food and beverage cartons; small electronics accessories.
Is 14pt cardstock available in CRB (recycled content)?
Yes. 14pt CRB (Coated Recycled Board) is available for sustainability-focused programs where recycled content is a brand requirement.
Does 14pt cardstock print as well as heavier boards?
Yes. The print quality of coated white board is determined primarily by the clay coating surface — consistent across all calipers of the same grade. 14pt SBS prints with the same quality as 18pt or 24pt SBS.
