While grammage is technically the proper term for paper weight, most printers in English-speaking countries refer to GSM as the “weight” of a card. A low quality sheet used in photo copiers is often 80gsm, where as a letterhead would commonly be printed on either 100gsm or 120gsm. Papers weighing either 130gsm or 150gsm are generally used for leaflets or flyers. Please be aware that this information should only be used as a guide because relative gsm/mic can vary from one brand of paper to another and there can even be some minor variation in different production batches of the same type of paper). Uncoated Paper (also referred to as Bond, Offset or Laser) In discussing various types of paper, its most likely best to say the “surface feel”, which is the way paper experts depict the composition of the paper to the touch; the surface feel can let you know a ton about the paper, e.g. size, forms, surface composition, weight, and solidness. Offset(uncoated) paper As a unit of measure, GSM connects the wood pulp producers (who sell by weight) with the paper mills (who work on area). Generally, the higher the GSM the more wood pulp is required to produce the paper. For example, one square metre of 400gsm board will use much more wood pulp than a square metre of 100gsm paper.
