White Copy Paper, 8.5 x 11, 20 lb, 500 Sheets/Ream, Case of 10 Reams

Product Description: Choosing the Correct Paper Size

When buying printing paper, selecting the right size is crucial. Whether you're printing business cards or large-format architectural plans, there is a paper size to fit your needs. The standard 8.5 x 11 paper size is perfect for most printers and is commonly used for magazines, catalogs, letters, and forms. Legal size paper, measuring 8.5 x 14, is often used in legal, real estate, and accounting professions for contracts. For larger diagrams and documentation that won't fit on standard sheets, 11 x 17 ledger size paper is the ideal choice, also known as tabloid size.

Weight is another important factor to consider when buying printing paper. The thickness and stiffness of a paper increase with higher weight. Cover stocks, which feel like thin cardboard, are at the heavier end of the spectrum, while text stocks are of regular weight. Paper brightness is measured on a scale of 0 to 100, with most paper falling in the 90s range. The higher the brightness, the sharper the images and text will appear in your printed job.

A ream of paper typically contains 500 sheets and is available in individual packs or cases, which may include multiple reams. Paper can be made from wood fibers, cloth, synthetic fibers, or even plastic, each serving different purposes. Printing papers come in coated and uncoated options, with coated papers offering glossy finishes for high-quality printed images.

Specialty papers are also available, with some being sustainably sourced and others made for specific purposes. Color paper adds a creative touch to your designs, coming in a variety of hues ranging from white and off-white to purple and black. Premium papers offer top attributes like weight, coating, brightness, and material, making them ideal for presentations and high-quality print jobs.
