Choosing Paper GSM

What is GSM?

GSM, or Grams per Square Meter, is a measure of paper density. The higher the GSM number, the heavier and thicker the paper. Understanding GSM is crucial for selecting the right paper for your specific application.

  • 200-300 GSM: Excellent for business cards, invitations, and book covers.
