The weight in pounds of a ream of paper cut to a given size. Most backing papers used in pressure sensitive laminations are based on a ream size of 24" x 36"/500's. Face papers are more typically 25" x 38"/500's.

Weight, measured in pounds, (500 sheets) of paper in its basis size. Purely speaking, substance weight is the term used to express the basis weight of bond paper (500 sheets of 17" x 22"); but basis weight and substance weight are often used interchangeably.
The Basis weight is the number of pounds that one ream of parent sheets weighs. Fifty-pound paper means one ream (500 sheets) weighs 50#. Reams come in different-sized sheets, though. Book-paper and text-paper sheets are 25" X 38". Bond paper is 17" X 22". Bristols are 22 1/2" X 28 1/2" or 35". Covers are 20" X 26".

In The United States, a paper's basis weight is determined by weighing 500 sheets of its basic size measured in pounds.

Weight in pounds of 500 sheets (one ream) of paper cut to a given standard size.
Traditional paper basis weights common to each grade of paper are based on measurements determined hundreds of years ago by Arab papermakers. They represent the finished weight of a ream of paper in a size specific to the grade of paper. (These sizes are usually "parent sheet" sizes, not cut-size reams.) Therefore, weights are not always the same between grades. For example, a 20# writing/script paper is not less than half the weight of a 50# text paper but, rather, similar to it. A 24# writing paper is generally equivalent to a 60# text, while a 28# writing paper is generally equivalent to a 70# text paper. That's because the size of paper being weighed by the ream is different for text than for writing papers.
The weight in pounds of a ream (500 sheets) of paper cut to a given standard size for that grade; e.g., 500 sheets of 25 x 38 in. of 50 lb. book paper weighs fifty pounds.

The weight in pounds of a ream (3000 sq. ft). eg 185lb/3000ft
The weight, in pounds, of a ream of paper cut to a standard basic size. Each major paper grade, like cover, bond, or watercolor, has its own basic sheet size which determines its basis weight. For example, the basic size of watercolor paper is 22x30" for 500 sheets; therefore 500 sheets of 140 lb. watercolor paper 22x30" will actually weigh 140 pounds. Although the sheets in a given ream of paper may be larger or smaller than this example, basis weight refers to how much that ream would weigh if all sheets were the related basic size.
In the United States, the basis weight is the weight in pounds of a ream (500 sheets) of paper determined by a basic size. However, the basis weight size varies by grade of paper. Throughout the world it is the grammage or grams per square meter.

The weight, in pounds, of a ream of paper cut to a basic size. Each major paper grade, like cover, bond, or offset, has its own basic sheet size, which determines its basis weight. ie: The basic size of book paper is 25" x 38" for 500 sheets; therefore, 500 sheets of 70 lb. offset book paper in 25" x 38" will actually weight 70 pounds. Although the sheets in a given ream of paper may be larger or smaller than this example, basis weight refers to how much that ream would weigh if all the sheets were the related basic size.
The weight in pounds of 500 sheets (one ream) of a standard basic size. For example, the standard basic size for text papers is 25x38â€. A ream of basis 70 text sheets in that size weighs 70 lbs. The basic size for cover papers is 20x26â€. Weighing 500 sheets of any grade of paper in its proper basic size will determine its basis weight. In other words, 500 sheets of 17x22†24-pound Bond will weigh 24 pounds.
