Magnae Britanniae Notitia: or, the present state of Great-Britain: with divers remarks upon the antient state thereof, Volume 1. As you may already know, paper comes in various thicknesses, directly influencing the ream’s overall weight. Paper has been around for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that paper manufacturing became more efficient and affordable. These outside quires were known as cassie quires (from French cassée, 'broken'), or "cording quires" and had only 20 sheets to the quire. Several European words for quire keep the meaning of "book of paper": Geman Buch von Papier, Danish bog papir, Dutch bock papier.

lb (90 gsm) paper: Slightly thicker and more durable than 20 lb paper, 24 lb paper is suitable for presentations and official documents. A ream of paper has many uses across various industries, including printing and copying, writing, and arts and crafts, and offers several advantages, including convenience, cost-effectiveness, versatility, and environmental friendliness. This ream of 500 sheets (20 quires of 25 sheets) is also known as a ‘long’ ream, and is gradually replacing the old value of 480 sheets, now known as a ‘short’ ream.Formerly, when paper was packed at the paper mill, the top and bottom quires were made up of slightly damaged sheets ("outsides") to protect the good quires ("insides"). Offset paper provides an excellent medium for achieving sharp images and crisp text, especially when using offset printing techniques. The term was later adopted by the French language as “rayme,” and eventually, it was Anglicized to “ream. The mole is defined as the number of atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12 atoms, which turns out to be 6. To calculate the weight of a ream with different thicknesses, you can simply multiply the gsm by the area of a single sheet (in square meters), and then multiply that product by the total number of sheets in the ream (500).

To determine the ream weight of any given size sheet, multiply the square inches in the given size by the given basis weight; divide the result by the square inch area of the basic size. However, by using less paper, we can help to save the number of trees from being felled, but just how much paper comes from one tree?
