Table of Paper Thickness For Determining

Ring and Post Binder Capacities

Important:  Each sheet prints both sides for two pages.  The numbers shown are expressed in sheets.  One sheet equals two printed pages.  This information is presented to give our customers a guide in determining binder capacity.  The thickness below may not hold true for specialty papers.

Certain types of stipple stone, ripple finish and grained papers will run thicker than shown.  For best results, obtain samples of the paper and make up a dummy copy and measure the thickness, to be sure.
