1. How to calculate the weight of an A4 paper box

Do you know how much one box of A4 paper weighs? This is a question that customers are always interested in today because we need to know the exact weight of an A4 paper box to calculate shipping costs, printing costs, etc.Here are the 3 steps to calculate the weight of an A4 paper box:

a) Step 1: Let's find out how many sheets are in 1 gram of paper? What are the standard specifications of A4 paper?

How many sheets are in 1 gram of A4 paper?

As you know, A4 paper is not sold by the sheet but by the gram. According to the standard convention of paper manufacturers, 1 gram of A4 paper contains 500 sheets (also known as 500 pages), and one box of A4 paper contains 5 grams.

1 gram of paper contains 500 sheets, and one box of A4 paper contains 5 grams

Other standard specifications of A4 paper from manufacturers:

Paper type: Double A 70 A4 paper
A4 paper size: 29.7x21cm
Paper weight: 70gsm/1 ream or 80gsm/ 1 ream
Standard packaging: 500 sheets/ 1 ream, 5 reams/ 1 carton box (ream = gram: the unit of measurement and name for paper sizes)

b) Step 2: Calculate how many kg 1 gram of A4 paper weighs?

Weight of 1 gram of paper (M) = Paper size area (S) x Paper weight (P = 70gms) x Number of sheets/ 1 gram

M= Sx P x 500 sheets/ gram

M= 0.21x0.297x 70 x 500 = 2.182kg

Similarly, if the weight of A4 paper is 80 gsm, it is: 2.494kg

c) Step 3: How to calculate how many kg one box of A4 paper weighs?

The standard packaging specification of paper manufacturers today is: 5 grams/ 1 box of A4 paper carton

So the weight of one box of A4 paper - 70gsm weight is: 2.182 x 5 = 10.91kg
The weight of one box of A4 paper - 80 gsm weight is: 2.494 x 5 = 12.47kg

So 1 box of A4 paper weighs: approximately from 10kg ~ 13kg with the manufacturer's standard packaging of 5 grams/ 1 box. In addition, the weight may still vary depending on the customer's needs to buy retail or wholesale. At that time, the weight of the paper box is calculated by multiplying the number of grams of paper by the weight of the paper gram, and it is done.
