Choosing the right paper stock is fundamental to the success of any print job. Here’s a breakdown of every stock we offer.
What is GSM?
GSM (Grams per Square Metre) is the standard measure of paper weight. The higher the GSM, the heavier and thicker the paper. A typical office printer uses 80gsm paper. Business cards are usually 350–400gsm. Understanding GSM helps you choose the right weight for the right job.
