"Thickness" is a length or distance. The SI unit for length or distance is the meter.
In order to produce a convenient number when you're talking about the thickness
of a piece of paper, you'll probably want to use one of the meter's sub-multiples,
such as the centimeter or millimeter. For tissue or 'onionskin', you might even go
to the micrometer.

What unit is the thickness of paper and card measured in?
Paper thickness is measured in grams per square metre (gsm). This is the weight of one square metre of the paper.Answer 2g/m² (gsm) is not a measure of thickness, it is a measure of weight per unit area. Thickness is measured in micrometres (µm).

How do you convert 350 gsm to micron?
You cannot. gsm, or grams per square metre, are a measure of the mass of a unit area of paper (usually). There is no simple relationship between this measure and the thickness of the paper - which would be measured in microns.
