Paper in Office Supplies

How much is a ream of paper?

One ream of paper equals 500 sheets of paper all the same size and weight.

Which copy paper is best for my project?

Use standard 20-pound paper for everyday use, like printing emails and making copies. When used in your printer or fax machine, 20-pound paper is the least likely to jam. Mid-weight paper, rated from 22 to 24 pounds, is preferred for resumes, contracts, proposals, and other applications where you want a classier look. Heavy paper, labeled 26 pounds and higher, is also called cardstock. Heavyweight paper is ideal for projects including crafts, signs, and menu covers.

What's the best paper for special documents you want to frame?

Choose archival-quality paper that's labeled as acid-free and made without lignin. Acid-free and lignin-free paper won't break down or yellow over time, so your special documents look fresh and clean for years to come.
