In searching online, I find the metric (gsm) notation to be consistent, but
I'd like to be able to do a conversion to foldable paper in LBS units.
Can someone explain how lbs associate to gsm?: Thanks! Rob
Here is a link to a conversion calculator and the related formulas

I do not fold 60lb.

give you the density of the paper.
The lbs are the pounds per ream. A ream is (most often but not always)
500

Hi all,
I've been trying to figure how thick paper will be by glancing at the
packaging in the store, but it seems like there's a difference (at least as
they're expressed in US units, lbs) among brands and types. Some things
listed as "65 lbs" seem to be foldable paper; others feel more like
