Paper Weight (GSM ↔ US Basis)Paper & Printing

Convert between Grams per Square Meter (GSM) and US basis weights (Bond, Cover, Text, Index) to match printing stocks.

Parameters & Inputs
Paper Metric Weight100 GSM
Standard Industrial Paper Stocks:
Expert Print Standard

US basis weight measures 500 sheets cut to a particular stock category size (e.g. 17"x22" for Bond). GSM measures a consistent, single square meter irrespective of stock type, which makes standard comparison much simpler.
