Why specifications matter
Grade, GSM, format and application all influence whether a paper suits a job. A complete enquiry lets IBRIX GROUP review your requirement and discuss suitable options without repeated back-and-forth.
GSM (grams per square metre) describes a paper’s basis weight, while thickness (caliper) describes how thick it is. Two papers with the same GSM can have different thickness, so state whichever matters for your product, or both.
By product
Key buyer specifications
| Product | Key buyer specifications | Helpful tip |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal Paper | GSM, roll width, diameter, core, image stability | Confirm your printer model first. |
| FBB | GSM, thickness, stiffness, coating, sheet/reel size | State the carton type and any compliance needs. |
| Carbonless NCR | CB/CFB/CF combination, GSM, colour, set count, format | Describe the set and your printing process. |
| Self-Adhesive Sticker | Face stock, adhesive, liner, size, print method | Name the surface and temperature conditions. |
| Wood-Free Paper | GSM, brightness, opacity, finish, sheet size, grain direction | Say whether you print offset or digital. |
Technical figures, tolerances and final requirements must be confirmed against the selected supplier’s current datasheet and approved sample.
