PAPER AND CARDSTOCK Paper and Card Weights. My very first Back to Basics post, hope it helps and makes sense
Weight | Typical Uses |
| 80 - 100gsm | Suitable as copy paper, printer paper |
| 120-170gsm | This weight isn’t strong enough to be used as a card base but is a good weight for layering and die cutting, some types are parchment paper, premium printer paper, card background papers, foiled papers, the best weight when making your own envelopes |
| 200 - 250gsm | Can be used for card bases but really not strong enough if layering or adding embellishment to your card, it is good for stamping, embossing |
| 260 - 290gsm | Thicker card, suitable for card blanks |
| 300 - 350gsm | Heavyweight Card, a little too think for most card bases |
