Before accurately calculating the amount of paper used in a printed product, it is necessary to first understand or identify the variety, specifications, price, and quality of the paper used in the product. Paper quality cannot be ignored as it directly affects the appearance and internal quality of printed materials. So, knowing the amount of paper used, variety, specification, and price of the printed material, one can calculate its paper price.

Common calculation formulas

Paper type=total paper usage × Unit price

The choice of paper type is relative to the type of printed matter. That is to say, what printing process should be used for this publication, and what kind of paper should be used for this printing process. For example, publications use offset printing, suitable for offset printing include coated paper, offset paper, offset book paper, light coated paper, etc. The corresponding paper should be selected based on the grade of the publication and the number of images and texts. For example, art brochures should use coated paper to have better image reproduction quality. Even if coated paper is used, there are different quantities, such as 90g/m2, 2100g/m2, 120g/m2, 157g/m2, 180g/m2, 200g/m2, etc. The same quantity can also be classified into special grade, first grade, and second grade. The paper produced by different paper mills also has different prices, including the selected pulp, production process, shipping costs, and warehousing. Even paper of the same grade in the same printing factory has different prices due to the impact of market price fluctuations due to purchase in different periods. Therefore, selecting paper is an important issue that the publishing department of a publishing house needs to weigh when selecting publication paper.

After accurately calculating the amount of paper used for printing, and knowing the variety, specification, and price of the paper used, according to the formula (paper amount=total paper amount x unit price), the paper amount can be calculated.
