Paper Weight Explained | How LBS & GSM Are Measured

Understanding paper weight can be confusing! For example, you can have 3 sheets of paper–one light weight, one medium weight, and one thick, and they can all be 80lbs. How can that be? They’re so obviously different in thickness and weight! (And how does GSM fit in?) Watch Steve and me break down this paper weight puzzle. We will explain how paper weight is measured. You will see why different types of paper can weigh the same in pounds but have different GSM.
