One of the main factors that affect card thickness is the material used to make it. If we were to compare two sheets of paper from different materials, both could be gsm but one could be thicker than the other due to the difference in composition.
In fact, one card could be thinner yet still have more heft than a thicker card. Our A4 white silk gsm card is a good example of this. The card contains clay and has been compressed and polished to create a silk finish. However, when compared to our A4 white matte gsm card , the latter is lighter but thicker due to it being more fibrous and less compressed.
The GSM designations of both products also show this difference in weight. Much of this has to do with how we tend to associate the paper weight with thickness.
Paper products in different GSM classes are better suited for certain applications. For instance, paper with a lighter weight is generally designed for printing and writing.
