Interior or cover?
Page count and binding weight matter for catalogue interiors. Business cards and covers also require an assessment of stiffness and handling durability.
Does equal grammage mean equal results?
Grammage is mass per square metre. Different materials at the same grammage do not necessarily have equal thickness or stiffness.
