WHAT DOES 300GSM AND 100GSM MEAN?
All of our card blanks in all ranges are heavyweight 300gsm.  This number refers to the weight of the card in grams per square metre and the higher the weight, the better quality the card.  For a professional finish to your card making, particularly wedding stationery where you'll want an expensive look, we recommend choosing nothing less than 275gsm.  Similarly, all our envelopes and card inserts weigh in at 100gsm which means they are a quality weight.

INSERTS
Our pre-cut inserts are top quality smooth 100gsm wove paper to match our card blanks.  They are supplied flat for ease of printing; you simply fold in half and glue in with a glue stick.  To help you on your way, we can supply a template in Word or Publisher for printing your inserts.   Inserts are supplied ready printed in our personalised diy wedding stationery packs.
