GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter — it measures the weight/thickness of the jute fabric. Lower GSM (e.g., 150–200) is used for light decorative or retail bags. Medium GSM (220–300) is standard for shopping bags and light sacking. High GSM (300–450+) is used for heavy industrial sacking and geotextile. We'll recommend the right GSM for your application.
