The Ultimate Guide to Custom Tissue Paper Thickness and Coordinated Packaging Solutions

1. Understanding Tissue Paper Fundamentals

1.1 What is GSM in Tissue Paper?

GSM (Grams per Square Meter) measures paper density and directly correlates with thickness. Our Complete Tissue Paper Thickness Guide details how:

  • 17 GSM = Ultra-light wrapping (0.08mm)
  • 45 GSM = Heavy-duty protection (0.25mm)
  • 300 GSM = Industrial-grade material (1.5mm)

Pro Tip: Pair our 17 GSM Tissue Paper with Custom Satin Ribbon for luxury gift presentations.
