Someone recently asked me about the weight of various tissue types. Here is a non-comprehensive list of tissues that I am aware of. I will include other types if people submit information. The table is sorted by weight. Notes below the table.
Brand | weight |
---|---|
GAMPI* | 9gsm |
KURANAI | 9gsm |
ESAKI | 12gsm |
DILLY** | 12gsm |
ASUKA | 14gsm |
FLOMO*** | 14gsm |
Mt FUJI**** | 18gsm |
Domestics***** | 14-18gsm |
* “Gampi” apparently has a variety of densities. What I used to sell weighed 9gsm. the EasyBuilt web site reports their Gampi is 12gsm.
** “Dilly” is available from the UK, but only in large rolls, to my knowledge. Also, I believe this is what Bernard Guest uses for his printed tissue that he sells.
*** “Flomo” is a brand name of Domestic tissue that I found in my local supermarket. I have used white and like it a lot and have recommended it.
**** “Mt Fuji” is available from EasyBuilt. Weight calculation discovered on Hip Pocket
***** Domestic tissue is a general term for supermarket or dollar store tissue paper. It is generally inferior (especially when wet) and heavy.
