Paper weight is determined by measuring the weight of a certain quantity of sheets of paper. Paper weight may be expressed as basis weight, ream weight, M weight or grammage.  Stay tuned tomorrow to see what those terms mean!

Paper weight is often measured in cover, index, text, bond, tag, bristol or gsm.

View our Paper Weight Comparison Chart to compare equivalent weights for different grades of paper.
