What Paper Weight Calculator does

A paper weight calculator that determines the weight of a sheet for any specified size, grammage, or basis weight. It supports conversion between basis weight and grammage, and can calculate total weight for a given quantity of sheets. The interface presents distinct paper stock types (Bond, Text, Tag, Index, Bristol, Cover) alongside standard and custom paper sizes, allowing users to select a preset or input dimensions manually.
