GSM
In cardboard, what is GSM?
The unit used to measure a material’s weight in a specific area is grams per square meter, or GSM. Greater strength and stiffness are correlated with a higher GSM for cardboard, which denotes a thicker and denser material. On the other hand, lighter, more flexible cardboard is indicated by a lower GSM.
