Is Stampin’ Up!’s paper really heavier/better quality than the papers that I can buy elsewhere?
Paper, in general, is sold by weight based on 500 sheets of a base size. However, the “base size” varies for different types of paper. The standard is set in Grams per Square Meter (gsm or sometimes listed as g/m2). Cardstock that you generally buy in big box stores or office supply stores in America is labeled as 110 lbs which correlates to 162.8 gsm. While Stampin’ Up! cardstock ranges from 200 – 240 gsm which would be 135.1-162 lbs per the 500 sheets base size.
You’re not imagining it, Stampin’ Up! paper DOES feel different/heavier than other brands. This extra “weight” enables it to both sit straighter and longer on the shelf when being “shown off” and last longer when that card is being kept for remembrances (and you know many are!)
Stampin’ Up!’ Designer Series Paper (DSP) runs from 100 – 160 gsm which makes it 67 – 108 lbs. Imagine, some of our DSP is almost as heavy as what other companies sell as “cardstock!” It adds to the quality of the products!
However, the BEST thing about Stampin’ Up!’s DSP this month (July 1-31, 2018) is that much of it is ON SALE! You can buy 3 packages of select DSP and GET ONE package FREE! It’s a great time to stock up on all those wonderful new papers released with the new catalog. Just check out my website or contact me for help!
You’ll find our 53 colors of cardstock on pages 183-187 of the new catalog. Our DSP selections are on pages 188-191.
