English term or phrase: To be printed on minimum of 100 lbs cover

Det drejer sig om instruktioner til et trykkeri i forbindelse med trykning af markedsføringsmateriale, og sætningen henviser til en mappe med informationsmateriale.

En anden sætning i filen lyder "To be printed on 60 or 80 lbs gloss" og henviser til enkeltsiderne i ovennævnte mappe.

"Cover" må vel være "omslag"? Jeg spekulerer også på, om jeg skal omregne "100 lbs", eller om man bruger den engelske vægt.

På forhånd tak for hjælpen.

Explanation:
Paper Weight Conversion Chart

The European measurement of describing paper weight measures a single paper with a two dimensional height and width of one square meter. This measurement is noted as g/m2 (gm/m2, gsm, g/m2). The measurement may be measuring a hypothetical square meter, but is a good "apples to apples" reference because it compares the weights of different size papers.

The US method of paper weight may be more familiar to people, but it has its drawbacks when comparing weights of different size paper. The US method of measurement gives the weight of the paper as if weighing 500 sheets (or a ream). Differences in the dimensions of paper are not taken into account. Therefore, the US weight of a letter size paper that is thick and dense may be the same as a poster size paper that is light and tissue thin because 500 sheets of each weight the same. It's the "which weights more, a ton of lead or a ton of feathers" quandary.
