The term “GSM” stands for grams per square meter, and it is a measurement of the weight and thickness of the paper. Maplitho paper typically comes in various GSM weights, ranging from around 60 GSM to 150 GSM or more, depending on the specific requirements of the printing job and the desired quality of the final product.
In general, lower GSM weights indicate lighter and thinner paper, while higher GSM weights indicate heavier and thicker paper. For example:
- Maplitho paper with a lower GSM, such as 60 GSM or 70 GSM, might be used for lightweight applications like inserts, flyers, or disposable leaflets.
- Maplitho paper with a higher GSM, such as 100 GSM or 120 GSM, would be thicker and more durable, suitable for applications where a higher-quality appearance and feel are desired, such as brochures, catalogs, or premium-quality leaflets.
The choice of GSM for maplitho paper depends on factors such as the printing method, the intended use of the printed material, and budget considerations. Higher GSM paper tends to be more expensive but offers better durability and a more substantial feel, while lower GSM paper is more economical but may be more prone to tearing or wrinkling.
