Bond Paper Thickness

To Determine 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 thicknesses below may not hold true for specialty papers.

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

When planning for thickness of contents, always include the thickness of the sheets plus the thickness of the tabbed index dividers. To be safe we suggest planning index thicknesses by using the figures in the last column headed "Plastic Tab Index Sheets."
