How to Use Paper Weight Converter

The Paper Weight Converter translates between GSM (grams per square meter) and US basis weight systems. Enter a paper weight in any system — GSM, Bond/Writing, Text/Book, Cover, Index, or Tag — and see equivalents in all other systems. Essential for print designers, publishers, and anyone ordering paper who needs to compare weights across different measurement standards. The US system uses different base sheet sizes for each category, making direct comparison confusing without a converter.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Enter the paper weight value
  2. Select the source unit (GSM, Bond, Text, Cover, Index, or Tag)
  3. Click Convert to see all equivalents
  4. Copy the results for your paper order or specification
