What is the most common size of paper?
In North America, paper sizes follow traditional formats with arbitrary aspect ratios. The most common paper sizes are Letter (8.5 x 11 inches), Legal (8.5 x 14 inches), and Ledger / Tabloid (11 x 17 inches) formats. Letter is the standard size for personal and business documents. Legal sized paper is the format used to make legal pads while Ledger (Tabloid) paper is used to make tabloids.
Brightness and Weight
When choosing copy paper and multipurpose paper, it also helps to consider the brightness and weight.
If a paper indicates its brightness rating, it's generally measured on a scale from zero to 100 (for U.S. consumers), with most white papers falling in the mid 90s. Brightness can be an important consideration when printing graphics, so pay attention to the number if that's a priority for you. For weight, standard printer paper is usually 20-lb. paper, with higher weights creating a heavier, thicker paper that may resist bleed-through or enable crisp two-sided printing. Choose whichever sizes and features are best for your needs and budget. If you are interested in color copy paper choices, we carry a wide paper ream selection in our colored paper section.
Single Reams, Cartons or Pallets
No matter how much paper you need, you can find the right quantities easily. Choose from a single paper ream or cartons or pallets of your preferred paper, to help ensure that you'll have plenty on hand for everyday copying, presentations and more.
