LOTWOW 300-Sheet Colored Cardstock, 8.5 x 11 Inches, 50 Colors, 180 GSM

At 8.5 x 11 inches, these cardstock sheets use the familiar letter-size format for printing and crafts. The pack includes 300 sheets across 50 assorted colors, with six sheets of each color. A 180 GSM weight gives the paper a sturdy feel for projects that benefit from more structure than standard printer paper. The smooth surface supports printing, folding, cutting, and writing.

The essentials

This assortment is made for projects where color and a firmer paper body both matter. Use it for handmade cards, invitations, gift tags, scrapbook pages, paper flowers, origami, classroom assignments, and party decorations. With 50 colors on hand, it’s easy to choose a shade for a specific design or combine several in one project. The six sheets per color also make the pack practical for repeated crafts or group activities without relying on a single color.

Each sheet is dyed through, so the color continues from the surface to the core. That detail is useful when cutting shapes, punching designs, or folding paper: exposed edges keep the color rather than showing a white center. The smooth finish helps with clean cuts and folds, and markers and gel pens can be used for handwritten labels, captions, and decorative details. For a project that calls for colored, shaped pieces, this cardstock offers a more substantial alternative to ordinary white printer paper.

Usage tips

For printed projects, the letter-size sheets are compatible with most laser and inkjet printers. Select the printer’s “Cardstock” or “Heavy Paper” setting and follow its recommended paper-loading method. This gives you a straightforward way to print colored invitations, classroom materials, or custom craft elements on the same paper used for the rest of the design.

For hands-on projects, cut, fold, tear, or punch the sheets to create layered decorations, tags, and scrapbook accents. The assortment suits both a single focused project and a supply shelf shared across multiple activities. For example, a classroom craft can use different colors for cutout shapes while students add names or details with markers and gel pens. The cardstock is also compatible with most cutting machines, making it useful for designs that require repeated or shaped pieces.

Who it’s for

This pack is suited to teachers, students, scrapbookers, artists, and anyone who regularly makes paper crafts or decorations. The broad color selection works well for seasonal displays, birthday and wedding details, invitations, and school projects. People choosing between plain paper and colored cardstock will find this set useful when a project calls for vibrant color, cuttable shapes, or a sturdier paper feel. Its standard letter size also makes it a convenient format for combining printed elements with handmade finishing touches.

Practical questions

How many sheets are included? The pack contains 300 sheets, with six sheets in each of 50 assorted colors.

Can I use the cardstock in a printer? It is compatible with most laser and inkjet printers. Use the printer’s cardstock or heavy-paper setting and its recommended loading method.

Will cut edges show a white core? The sheets are dyed through, so the color extends from the surface into the paper’s core. That helps keep cut and punched edges visually consistent with the sheet.

Is it worth it?

For recurring crafts, classroom projects, and decorations, the main advantage is having a large assortment of colored cardstock ready in a familiar letter-size format. The 180 GSM weight, smooth surface, and through-dyed colors support printing as well as cutting, folding, and writing, so one pack can serve a range of creative tasks. It’s a practical fit for anyone who wants multiple colors available for both planned projects and everyday paper crafting.
