Im doing a collateral design class and we have to make our own packages. i was curious as to what a common paper/weight is for boxes like youd find on the shelve etc.

im not really too sure what to google. ive tried paperweights and such but to find a generic weight for packages i get nada.

i will look into thin/thick cardstocks as those are generally about right.

but any info is appreciated.

This looks somewhat helpful:
