Product Information

To determine the weight of a ream, you need to consider factors such as the size of the paper, its type, and its density, also known as GSM ( grams per square meter). In 1840, a ream in Lisbon was 17 quires and three sheets = 428 sheets, and a double ream was 18 quires and two sheets = 434 sheets; and in Bremen, blotting or packing paper was sold in reams of 300 (20 quires of 15 sheets).

In fact, on average, an office will use the equivalent of one tree every year, even in offices that limit their paper usage and strive for a paperless office.

Other aspects to consider is whether the paper uses recycled material within the pulp and what percentage the recycled material is. I'm a self-professed measurement enthusiast, and I've been passionate about measuring things for as long as I can remember.

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?

The term was later adopted by the French language as “rayme,” and eventually, it was Anglicized to “ream. Certain types of specialist papers such as tissue paper, greaseproof paper, handmade paper, and blotting paper are still sold (especially in the UK) in 'short' reams of 480 sheets (20 quires of 24 sheets).
