Question
What Is The Difference Between 24 lb and 60 lb Paper?
Answer
Beyond slight subtleties there is really no difference between the two. The confusing part is that they are measured against two different paper standards, so the same sheet ends up with two different numbers.
| Standard | Weight |
|---|---|
| Bond (writing) weight | 24 lb |
| Text (book) weight | 60 lb |
Both describe roughly the same everyday sheet. One is just named on the bond scale and the other on the text scale.
