Question

What paper weight or thickness should I choose for my project?

Answer

Paper weight shapes both the feel and the perceived quality of your print. Heavier stock feels more premium, while lighter stock keeps costs down for high-volume pieces.

WeightComparable to
170gsm (text weight)Standard copy paper or a booklet interior page
200gsmNoticeably thicker and sturdier
  • Lighter weights suit flyers, inserts, and interior pages
  • Heavier weights suit covers, cards, and premium handouts
  • Balance the feel you want against your budget

Your printer can recommend a suitable weight based on your project type and goals.
