Default Type 1 Stock...

Leon - Jim,

I think you are both right in a sense, but possibly the bulletin is technically wrong, but right in thought. Let me explain... I think of the coupon type 1's as the same thickness as a piece of paper. If you hold up a 8x11 piece of paper it is flimsy and drops on one end holding it by the other end, but if you cut out a piece of that paper roughly the size of the type 1 coupon, it does not fall, but performs the same way a Type 1 would should you hold it on one end. (The Coupon behaves the same way) I really think the Coupon and a piece of notebook paper are the same weight/thickness. Perhaps a piece of notebook paper is a 1/32 of a millimeter thinner !?! To call a Type 1 "heavy" as I imagine they were referring to "Heavy Paper" seems technically wrong. I bet if you made a type 1 coupon 8x11 it would fall like a flimsy piece of paper holding it on one end... (Gosh, I hope this rambling makes sense....) Point is, a Coupon and a piece of paper are more or less the same.

Can you say, splitting hairs !
