GSM Paper Types: Everything You Need to Know | Edicon Paper Product
GSM (grams per square meter) is a crucial factor in determining paper quality, thickness, and suitability for different uses. Lower GSM papers (less than 150 GSM) are ideal for everyday office printing or newspapers, while midweight papers (150-250 GSM) are used for marketing materials like flyers and brochures. Heavyweight papers (250-400 GSM) offer a luxurious, rigid feel, perfect for business cards, postcards, and invitations. When choosing paper, GSM impacts not just the weight but also the feel and print quality, making it an essential element in any print project.
