100 Sheets A4 250gsm White Card - Premium Thick Printing Paper Suitable for All Printers

Product Information

On the other hand, flyers promoting a sale or event are usually disposable, hence why they’re made from the lightest, flimsiest low-GSM paper. ColorLok® Technology is a true innovation which helps improve print results when using modern printing equipment. Put simply, if you were to take a 1m² piece of a certain type of paper, how much would it weigh in grams?

We will also show you a paper weight chart that you can use as a paper weight guide for your prints. In contrast, heavier and thicker paper is ideal for specialised applications, such as invitations, greeting cards, and scrapbooking.Paper thickness can also be measured in ‘thou’ (1/1000 of an inch); with 4 inches being equal to 101.

As the name recommends, it lets you know the amount of a square meter of the paper or card you’re utilizing would weigh (as a part of grams, trust it or not). The scattering covering seals the color and gives the paper expanded steadiness, which prompts brilliant printed pictures with sharp complexities.This is most notable in uncoated boards with cheaper grades having the same thickness but weighing less than more superior grades. These paper products, also known as offset paper, are uncoated and designed for rapid and repeated printing. In the paper and pulp industry, card weight isn’t measured by thickness but by grammage — the area density of a paper product or its mass per unit of area. These can include the type of coating on the board, the amount of virgin fibres used or bulkiness of the raw material.

It can be composed or printed on without restraint in light of the fact that no water-based covering is connected. The weight range of standard office paper, used in your desktop laser printer or photocopier and would rarely be used for brochures.

To help you make a purchase decision, we’ve put together a list of examples of how paper products under each GSM class can be used. Because grammage is expressed in grams per meter square and the dimensions are in inches, we need to multiply by 0. Thanks to spiral binding, creasing is only needed on higher grammages if they are used for four-sided pocket calendars. It will stand up under its own weight and is most commonly associated with premium flyers and business cards. There's nothing more underwhelming than being handed a business card printed on 200gsm paper or receiving a greetings card that won't stand up because the paper is too light.
