Determine the weight of 1,000 sheets of a given sheet size by using length, width, and basis weight.
Calculate the basis weight for a ream of paper using its weight in grams per square meter (GSM).
Based on its basis weight, determine the weight in grams per square meter (GSM) of a ream of paper.
Using the specific thickness of an individual sheet, determine the number of pages in an inch of paper.
Using roll weight and width, measure a roll of paper in linear feet.
Using roll weight and basis weight, determine one thousand square inches and one thousand square feet of a roll of paper.
Using the price per pound and basis weight, calculate the 1,000-square-inch price.
Using a given roll width and previously determined MSF price, calculate the linear foot and yard price for a roll of paper.
These tables provide weight in pounds for a ream of a common grade of paper and provides its basis weight and metric equivalent in grams per square meter (GSM).
| Ream | 500 sheets of paper of any given size. |
|---|---|
| Ream Weight | The weight of 500 sheets of the standard sheet size for the particular grade. (See tables.) |
| M-Weight | The weight of 1,000 sheets (two reams) of paper. |
| Basis Weight | The weight of a ream, measured in pounds. The Basis Weight (also known as Ream Weight) is the weight of 500 sheets of the standard sheet size for a particular grade. The standard sheet size varies by grade. For example, text weight papers have a standard size of 25 x 38 (950 sq. inches). |
| Basic Size | The standard sheet size from which the basis weight of a given grade is determined. (See tables.) |
| Point | The thickness of a sheet of paper, referenced in a point value. Typically, 3 decimal places are used to indicate thickness in percentage of an inch. For example, .010 is also referenced as 10 point or 10 pt. |
