340 vs 380 vs 440 GSM: Compare the Weight

GSM means grams per square metre. It tells you the nominal material weight for a given area. It helps you compare material mass and plan handling. It does not, on its own, tell you the tear strength, print quality or outdoor life.

Calculated material weight at the same area
Nominal GSMPer 1 m²Per 100 m²Compared with 380 GSM
340 GSM0.34 kg34 kg4 kg less per 100 m²
380 GSM0.38 kg38 kgReference weight
440 GSM0.44 kg44 kg6 kg more per 100 m²

These are calculated net material weights. They exclude the core, packaging and ink, and do not include manufacturing tolerance. For a quote comparison, keep the roll area, finish, construction and delivery terms the same.
