Knowing a paper’s weight is important when working on paper engineering and pop-up designs because the thickness of the paper is the feature that most defines its stiffness. Finding the weight of a piece of paper can be tricky if you don’t have the original packaging. Use the following table to convert different paper weights and thicknesses:
| Microns | Thousandths of an Inch | Grams/Meter2 | Pounds (Bond Paper) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 | 3.1 | 60 | 16 |
| 120 | 4.7 | 90 | 24 |
| 150 | 5.9 | 115 | 31 |
| 180 | 7.1 | 150 | 40 |
| 200 | 7.9 | 180 | 47 |
| 230 | 9.1 | 220 | 58 |
| 250 | 9.8 | 250 | 67 |
| 330 | 13.0 | 285 | 76 |
| 380 | 15.0 | 315 | 87 |
| 445 | 17.5 | 385 | 105 |
