Best Answer

Weight of a paper is determined by weighing 500 sheets of that paper at its industry standard size. 50 lb text stock commonly used for magazines comes in standard sheets of 25"x38" (on which printers will print 16 letter sized pages, 8 on each side, folding and cutting/trimming the sheet to get 16 magazine pages) so 500 sheets of this size equals 50 pounds.

Printer paper packages often lists it's 'weight,' what does that mean?

The weight listing on paper refers to the thickness and stiffness of the paper or some would say the density by area. So, the higher the weight listing of the paper the thicker, stiffer and more opaque the paper will be. It should be noted that this will vary some by types of paper as 20 pound bond paper is not as thick or stiff as 20 pound cover paper.
