Default Get prints

I asked this question on another section here, but got no real responses. I need to find a source for wallet sized prints on a heavier stock. Do any of you professionals do wallets in your packages? If so, who do you use? I ordered prints from some of the suggested sites, and all came back on standard photo paper. So I guess this request is aimed at those of you who have experience and success in this area. Thanks for the help.

You probably need to define "heavier stock." No lab that I know of prints wallets on anything but "standard" photo paper. That said, standard for one lab is not standard for another.

The solution that pops into mind would be to print them in 8x10 sheets on card stock or similar and then cut them yourself.

Thanks Jim. "Heavier" is like the school packages, for grade school, or for graduation. My grandson's only complaint about the photos we did was the light paper they were done on.

The heaviest paper I've seen available in local stores is 66lbs. Perhaps you need to look at companies that do trading cards.

I use Mpix.com and I have never had any complaints. I dont know if it is the same light weight paper you are talking about, but like I said, I have not had complaints and I have repeat buyers.
