Ream Weight
The weight of 500 sheets of the standard sheet size for the particular grade. (See tables.)
M-Weight
The weight of 1,000 sheets (two reams) of paper.
Basis Weight
The weight of a ream, measured in pounds. The Basis Weight (also known as Ream Weight) is the weight of 500 sheets of the standard sheet size for a particular grade. The standard sheet size varies by grade. For example, text weight papers have a standard size of 25 x 38 (950 sq. inches).
Basic Size
The standard sheet size from which the basis weight of a given grade is determined. (See tables.)
Point
The standard sheet size from which the basis weight of a given grade is determined. (See tables.)
