Despite the manufacturers advice of using a minimum of 90gsm paper, for the more intricate designs we recommend a minimum paper weight of 120gsm and a maximum of 260gsm, or with the simple designs such as circles, stars and squares, etc. you can use a maximum of 300gsm.Subject to the individual characteristics of each design, using less than 120gsm is likely to jam the punch, or result in an incomplete cut, so if you do need to cut thin paper, such as 80gsm or similar, or even tissue paper, or crepe, then it can be achieved by making the thin paper the content of a sandwich of 3 sheets, with an 80gsm sheet either side if it.
This will total around 180gsm and that will cut cleanly, even with (subject to the intricacy) up to 6 sheets of tissue in the sandwich making a total of just under 300gsm, subject to the quality (weight) of the tissue paper.
