Hi all,

I've been trying to figure how thick paper will be by glancing at the
packaging in the store, but it seems like there's a difference (at least as
they're expressed in US units, lbs) among brands and types. Some things
listed as "65 lbs" seem to be foldable paper; others feel more like card
stock. The description on the packaging is generally inconsistent. I find
myself sneaking the shrink wrap off to feel the paper.

In searching online, I find the metric (gsm) notation to be consistent, but
I'd like to be able to do a conversion to foldable paper in LBS units.

Can someone explain how lbs associate to gsm?:

Thanks!

Rob
