Paper Measurement - Caliper

Date: Dec 3, 2002

Paper thickness is defined as Caliper. It is measured in 1/1000 of an inch and expressed as Point Size. (Note that points describing caliper of paper are not the same as points describing size of type and font)

One Point equals 0.001 inch. Stock called 10 point is 0.010 inches thick and abbreviated 10pt. People may also use Point Size for describing the thickness of phone cards or other plastic card products.

Point size is very important when you talk about postal service. For example, in U.S., postcards must be at least 7pt.
