Reamage

nounStandard termPrinting

The total volume or quantity of paper calculated in reams.

Reamage is a metric used in paper purchasing and inventory management to express the total amount of paper required for a print run. Since a standard ream contains 500 sheets, calculating the reamage helps estimators determine paper costs, spoilage allowances, and shipping weight before a job hits the pressroom.
