Forum rules

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

18pt to grams

Mon Jan 17, 2005 5:51 pm

Dear All,

From my sourcing, I know that 1pt = 0.002 gram. However according to my job (as an offset printer supplier), it doesn't make any sense to me, because it is too lightly for a pc of paperboard. They asked me for 18pt which means only 0,036gram/pc with size 109cm x 79cm (too thin I think) and I cannot ask my suppliers for this material.
Any Comment or info would be helpful for me. Thank you in advance.
