What's the difference?

Lower weight, lower cost, less climate impact!

A paper with higher density has lower bulk, meaning it is more compact. And of course, the opposite is true for a paper with low density. It has more volume and contains more air. With a high bulk paper you can keep the same thickness and still get a lower grammage.

Our bulk calculator will guide you in the process of choosing the right paper for your requirements. It will also show you how much weight you can save by using a paper in a lower grammage.

If you want to learn more about the paper your suggested to use, you can go to straight to our products, or if you feel like you want to know more about how paper with a lower basis weight have less impact on our climate, you can read all about that here.
