HACK OF THE DAY 30TH JULY, 2019

There are so many papers out here that it can be confusing which is the best to buy. paper is produced in different weight and construction and is suitable for different things. so what do we buy ?


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 but good for flyers, brochures, menus, posters & booklet

See you tomorrow
