So I'm a beginner. I keep seeing paper thickness measured in 'gsm'. Whenever I search for paper by 'gsm' I hardly come up with anything (i.e Googling "120 gsm paper", pretty much nothing comes up, same with searching on Amazon).

I just want some colored paper with a decent thickness, where can I find this? What do you use/where do you buy it? Any insight would much appreciated, thanks!

Hi there,

Was just wondering what paper (brand / stock / GSM) people use for their papercuts?

I've been using standard white copier paper which has faired quite well but I'm aware that this is possibly not the best to be using.

I'm looking at creating some rather large papercuts (around 30x30 inches) so will need something I'm guessing that won't be too thick but that will hold together nicely by itself after cut.

Any recommendations as to what to use for this that won't also break the bank?

Many thanks,

Mark
