Why Choose 18pt Cardstock
18pt Cardstock Canada | Standard Retail Folding Carton Material for Canadian Brands
18pt cardstock (approximately 0.45mm thick) is the standard weight for Canadian retail folding carton packaging. Its combination of structural integrity, printability, and cost efficiency makes it the most widely specified cardstock weight for Canadian consumer goods, food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical retail packaging across all major retail channels.
18pt as Canada's Standard Retail Packaging Weight
18pt cardstock is the default specification for the majority of Canadian retail folding carton packaging. When Canadian retail buyers evaluate packaging, 18pt provides the structural integrity and shelf presence expected for mainstream consumer goods across Loblaws, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire, and national retail chains. It is the starting specification for any Canadian retail packaging conversation.
18pt Performance on Canadian Retail Shelves
Canadian retail shelves subject packaging to extended periods of standing on-shelf, fronting by retail staff, and handling by shoppers. 18pt cardstock maintains its form through standard Canadian retail cycles without the sagging or deformation that lighter stocks can develop — ensuring packaging maintains brand presentation quality through full retail seasons.
