What paper weight does 250gsm convert to in pounds?

A stock of 250gsm lands in the heavy cover-stock range, roughly comparable to about a 90lb cover in the pound (#) system used on many product pages. The reason there is no single exact answer is that gsm-to-pound conversions shift depending on the paper category, since text, cover, and index papers each use a different base sheet size.

• Always confirm the exact weight against the specific stock, since the same gsm can convert differently for text versus cover paper.
• When in doubt, ask your printer for the precise pound rating.
