Website Paper Weight Equivalency Chart

by Raki Wright | Last Updated May 4, 2016

Burris Computer Forms announces a new tool on its website which can be used to cross reference paper weights in gsm, bond, text/book, cover, bristol, index, and tag.

The paper weight equivalency chart references the terminology a user may be more familiar with in their industry. Oftentimes paper manufacturers specify their papers’ weights in different measurements. With Burris’ new paper weight equivalency tool, users can easily find what papers their printer will handle, regardless of the way the weight is expressed.

The chart compares different paper weights to gsm or g/m2, grams per square meter — the metric measure of the density of paper, a measure often quote by printer manufacturers. Other paper measurements depend on the basis size from which to calculate its variable weight, which requires background knowledge of what size paper is used in each scenario.

A widget (a downloadable interactive tool) is available for use on any website or desktop.
