The 80GSM Standard: Why Professionals Don't Compromise

Not All Paper Is Created Equal

Walk into any high-end law firm or corporate boardroom, and you won't find 70gsm paper. The standard is 80gsm. But is it worth the extra cost? Absolutely.

The "See-Through" Problem

Cheap paper has low opacity. Print a double-sided contract, and the text from the back bleeds through to the front. 80gsm paper is dense enough to stop this ghosting, making your documents look clean and readable from both sides.

Jam-Free Guarantee

High-speed office photocopiers run hot and fast. Lighter paper (70gsm) curls under heat and lacks the stiffness to push through complex rollers, leading to jams. 80gsm has the "backbone" to glide through smooth and flat, every single time.

The Touch Test

Hand a client a proposal on 80gsm paper. It feels substantial. It feels expensive. Now hand them one on 70gsm. It feels flimsy. In business, these subconscious signals matter. Your paper quality is a direct reflection of your brand's attention to detail.

Our Verdict

  • Internal Memos: 70-75gsm is fine. Save the money.
  • Client Proposals: 80gsm is non-negotiable.
  • Marketing Flyers: Go for 90-100gsm for that premium snap.
