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
