Overview
We keep Hawksbill A4 Card Paper White 225GSM 100 Pack on our office paper shelf alongside 49 others, and rank it on rating, review volume and live price rather than on the brand. The manufacturer puts it this way: This 100 pack of white card from Hawksbill Paper is 225 grams per square metre (GSM) in weight. Thanks to the smooth finish. 225 GSM is a high-quality thickness for card, ideal for printing brochures, leaflets, invitations or certificates. It is compatible with inkjet, laser and industrial printers. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. On Amazon it sits at 4.6 out of 5 across 2,218 ratings. How that compares with the rest of the shelf is below.
The typical office paper product on our shelf scores 4.6 out of 5, measured across 50 rated products. This one comes in at 4.6. That's inside the bottom quarter of the shelf. It isn't a warning, but better-rated options do sit alongside it at similar money, so you would want a specific reason to pick this one.
Behind that score sit 2,218 ratings, against a shelf median of 2,702. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.
The shelf runs from £1.50 to £37.00 and the midpoint is about £6.99. On price, this one is in the middle third. Which is where most sensible buys end up: not the cheapest on the shelf, and not the one you pay a name for.
