Equivalent Weight


While different paper types have different basic sizes, papers can still be compared by using equivalent weight. In this chart a 24 pound bond has the equivalent weight as 60 pound offset.


With all the new digital equipment coming out lately things are trending toward Metric, grams/sq meter (gsm) see the last column to find its equivalent. I know, it was all very confusing to me too. Until I received this chart from one of my vendors. Give me a call or send me a message if you'd like me to e-mail it to you.
