GENERAL METRIC RULES

Grammage = basis weight stated in grams per square meter (gsm). 

Separate digits in groups of three, using a space rather than a comma.
Example: 1 000 000
 
A number less than 1 should appear with a zero to the left of the decimal point.
Example: 0.41
 
Periods are not used after abbreviations. 

Meter is the spelling likely to be used in the U.S.
England and France use "metre." 

Millimeters are to be rounded off to the nearest whole number.
i.e., if the dimension is 0.5 mm or more, increase to 1.
 
In stating a sheet size in millimeters, add "mm" after last dimension only.
Example: 432 x 559 mm 

A space should be left between number and abbreviations.
Example: 432 mm
