- Definition mass of a unit area of paper or board determined by a specific method of test, expressed in terms of the mass per number of sheets of a specific uncut basis paper size Reference "COM-Terminology Coordination based on:- International Organization for Standardization. ISO 536:2019. 'Paper and board — Determination of grammage' (22.8.2022). ISO, 2019- Wikipedia > Grammage (22.8.2022)"
- Comment "Expressed in pounds (lb) per ream of 500 (or in some cases 1000) sheets of the uncut basis size of the paper. This is the measure used in the United States and a few other countries using US-standard paper sizes. In most parts of the world paper mass is expressed as grammage. In Japan, paper density is expressed as the weight in kg of 1000 sheets. Not to be confused with ream weight, which refers to the weight of a ream of paper of any given size, not necessarily the uncut size. Since the printing trades use a variety of sheet sizes, there can be numerous ream weights for paper having the same basis weight."
