    You'll want SBS stocks such as Tango or Kromekote. These will usually be measured in points instead of pounds like other stocks. An example would be 12pt C1S (meaning coated one side) or 12pt C2S (meaning coated two sides). These are extremely rigid stocks, but have a low density, resulting in them feeling light weight.
