Stock, GSM, Pantone, Scodix – these may sound alien to you but to us they are a part of our design world.
Stock is the type of paper and thickness of paper (measured in GSM). The higher the GSM, the thicker the paper. For example: 350 – 450 gsm will be used for business cards. Depending on what you need you can also use different types of paper – by using a textured paper to give your business card that extra edge.
