Question

What is a "ream" in printing?

Answer

A ream is a standard counting unit for paper equal to 500 sheets. The term is commonly used for letterhead and everyday office paper, such as 8.5 inch by 11 inch sheets sold 500 to a ream.

  • Count: one ream equals 500 sheets.
  • Typical size: 8.5 in x 11 in letter paper is the usual reference.
  • Why it is used: it gives a consistent way to quote and package paper quantities.
