Reamäärust

Reamäärust is an Estonian term that translates to "reamass" in English. It refers to the total weight of paper in a ream, which is a standard quantity of paper. A ream typically contains 500 sheets. The weight of a ream varies depending on the paper's thickness, size, and density. This weight is often expressed in grams per square meter (gsm) or pounds (lb) for specific paper sizes. Manufacturers use ream weight as a key specification to indicate the quality and type of paper, influencing its suitability for different printing and writing purposes. Heavier ream weights generally suggest thicker, more durable paper, while lighter weights are often used for everyday printing or when bulk needs to be minimized. Understanding reamäärust is important for selecting the appropriate paper for specific applications, ensuring desired performance and cost-effectiveness. It is a fundamental concept in the paper industry and for consumers purchasing paper products.
