Showcard / Tuff White

[dustan7]

Looking for a product that we call "showcard" I have been told that it is called Tuff White. Does anybody know what this is and more importantly... where to get it? I would describe it as a shoe box cardboard that comes in 44x28 sheets.

thanks in advance!

Look for railroad board if you need more options but we had to start using Crescent #82 Illustration board back when we were printing showcards. Don't remember where we were getting it but google turned up this.

We get it from a local distributor - AlumaPanel. They call it Poly Tuff-Out, it comes in 2 thicknesses in the 28x44 size.

By the way, nothing has the feel of real crescent showcard with the clay coating. Sad to think that it used to be available everywhere and now it looks like you're going to have to dig for it.
