What do you want to know about….paper weights?
Each item listed shows the weight of paper that it will be printed on. For most marketing items (leaflets etc.) we recommend quite heavy weights of paper. Many people feel this produces a more professional and expensive-feeling item. In addition, it is less likely to get damaged in the post. It is difficult to describe on a website the different weights of paper, but we’ll try by giving a couple of examples:
- 100 gsm is the weight of paper typically used for printing letterheads.
- 335 gsm feels more like card and is the most popular weight for business cards.
(Postcards are often printed on 335 gsm or a slightly lighter weight.)
