Ream weight is the weight of a 500 stack of papers.

Some copy shops I frequent use 磅 to differentiate paper thickness, for example "150磅" would mean some thick cardstock

"P.,Lb. – 令重(ream wright):為某出廠尺寸大小的紙500張的總重量或簡稱為磅(P.,Lb.),這和印前打字中的P.(點, Point, 72 points = 1 inch)是不一樣的。"

"早期台灣紙業界常用「磅重」計重,單位常以「lb」或「P」表示。
磅重指的是為一令(500張)全開紙的重量,但因無法辨認是四六版(31″ x 43″)或菊全版(25″ x 35″),常常造成很多混淆和很多爭議,因此磅重在業界漸漸少用,現在多改用國際單位g/m2作為業界標準。"

"台灣習慣使用磅數來分別紙的數重量,一令紙是指500張全開的紙,而令重是指一令紙的磅重(P)。"

Editor: It looks like in mainland China, g/m² (克每平方米) is the dominant measurement, and 磅 is not commonly used for paper weight.
