COMPARE PAPER WEIGHTS
Compare 17 GSM and 28 GSM tissue paper to choose the right balance of flexibility, coverage, structure, and presentation.
What GSM Means
GSM means grams per square metre. A higher GSM generally feels more substantial and provides greater coverage, while a lower GSM feels lighter, softer, and more flexible.
GSM does not directly measure overall quality. Paper composition, finish, color, printing, and intended use also affect the final result.
Lightweight
A lighter tissue paper with a soft drape, flexible feel, and more visible transparency.
Choose 17 GSM when you want a light presentation and easy folding around smaller or softer products.
More Substantial
A heavier tissue paper with a firmer hand, more structure, and greater visual coverage.
Choose 28 GSM when you want a more substantial sheet and a stronger premium presentation.
What Changes
Lighter paper folds and flows more easily. Heavier paper holds a more structured shape.
Lower GSM usually appears more transparent. Higher GSM generally offers greater visual coverage.
A higher GSM generally feels fuller and firmer when held, folded, or placed inside a box.
Heavier paper occupies more space. Lighter sheets are easier to fold into smaller boxes and mailers.
Quick Choice
For lightweight wrapping, softer folds, compact packaging, and an airy presentation.
For greater structure, a fuller hand feel, and more substantial gift or retail packaging.
Consider the product size, box style, desired coverage, and how you want the unboxing experience to feel.
Paper color, ink coverage, lighting, and artwork design can affect how transparent or substantial the finished tissue paper appears. Digital previews are approximate.
