Understand the difference between paper weights in lbs and gsm with a printable chart.
Lbs vs GSM
Paper weight is measured in two main ways: pounds (lbs) and grams per square meter (GSM), and the difference lies in how each system defines the weight. Pounds are primarily used in the United States and refer to the weight of a ream (500 sheets) of uncut paper based on the type and size of the paper’s original sheet. Because different paper types (like text, bond, or cover) have different base sizes, the same pound rating can feel very different across types. In contrast, GSM is a metric measurement used internationally and represents the weight of one square meter of paper, regardless of its type or intended use. This makes GSM a more consistent and straightforward way to compare paper weights across categories and brands.

However, GSM is not commonly used or widely understood in the U.S., where pounds (lbs) remain the standard.
