Black Crepe Cardstock, 80# Cover Weight Textured Paper

Black Crepe Cardstock: 80# Cover With a Texture You Can Feel

Run your thumb across a sheet and you feel ridges, like fine crinkled fabric. It bends in your hand, but it's still 80 lb cover, so it holds up as a card, a sign, or a mat behind a photo.

This paper comes from a mill in Peoria, Illinois that makes crepe for industrial jobs like bag closures and filters. We had it sheeted and cut it down for artists, printers, and card makers. It's a limited run. When it's gone, it may not come back.

Why It's Different

• Deep crepe texture: ridges run in one direction across the whole sheet.
• Soft and flexible: bends and folds without the stiff snap of smooth cardstock.
• Made for light ink: white and metallic gel pens, chalk markers, paint pens, and opaque white pop against the black.
• A dark frame: makes photos and bright papers stand out when you layer them on top.

• Made in the USA: milled from recycled fiber in Peoria, Illinois
• Texture direction: want the ridges to run the long way or the short way? Add a note at checkout and we cut it your way.
