Best Paper for Printing Play Dough Card Holders
If you really want these cards to pop, we highly recommend printing them on our premium glossy cardstock paper.
Our glossy cardstock gives the colors a bright, vibrant finish and makes the tropical designs look even more professional and eye-catching. It’s also thicker and sturdier than regular printer paper, which helps the cards hold the play dough containers better.
We especially love using glossy cardstock for:
- Party printables
- Treat holders
- Classroom gifts
- DIY craft projects
- Chip bags and favor templates
