10. How to Choose the Right Paper Weight, Thickness and Bulk

GSM is not the only factor that determines the quality of a paper cup fan. Two cupstock papers with the same grammage can have different thickness, bulk and stiffness.

For example, a 170 gsm high-bulk paper can be significantly thicker than a normal bulk 170 gsm paper. Greater thickness and high stiffness can improve the rigidity and hand feel of the finished paper cup.

Chinese suppliers usually describe 1.3 bulk paper as normal bulk paper, 1.5 bulk paper as medium bulk paper, 1.7 bulk paper as super high bulk paper. For buyers comparing paper cup fan prices, we recommend checking not only GSM but also actual paper thickness and stiffness.

A small difference in raw material price per ton may result in only a very small difference in the material cost of each finished cup, while the improvement in cup stiffness can be clearly noticeable.
