Most definitely. But IME people have problems working with them when things like holes are needed. Since they're thin enough to be in my paper range, I opt for the convenience of going with paper in these applications.

FWIW soda can cuts are easy to get, and tend to be worse than paper cuts. That said, if you have a decent hole punch, soda cans are a great option for this.
