Greyboard Weights Explained: Finding the Perfect Balance

The 'GSM' or weight of your greyboard determines the 'heft' and perceived value of your brand. Here is how to choose.

1000g - 1200g: The Industry Standard

Best for jewelry, cosmetics, and small electronics. It's rigid, lightweight, and cost-effective for shipping.

1400g - 1500g: The Mid-Range

Provides a noticeable 'thud' when closed. Excellent for corporate gift sets and heavier skincare bottles (100ml+).

1800g - 2000g: The "Ultra-Luxury"

Used for premium spirits, heavy watches, and collectible editions. It feels indestructible. **Note:** Always pair this with V-Grooving for the sharpest possible edges.

Which one should you pick?

If you're shipping via Air Express, 1200g is usually the sweet spot for budget and protection. For retail "shelf presence," go with 1500g+. [Talk to an engineer for a material sample](/contact).
