Imperial paper weight:
Calculated by basis size (length x width) x 500 sheets.
The 80lb weight would likely refer to basis size of 17"x22" paper (guess) -
must know basis size to be sure about the math.
ie: 17x22x500=80 lbs, for 1,000 (2 reams) = 160 lbs. Going to
8.5x11 means dividing by 4, 160/4 = 40 lbs
I believe the weight for 1,000 8.5"x11" 80lbs flyers would be 40 lbs actual.
From Wikipedia,
Sheets 17 by 22 inches (560 mm) can be cut into four 8½ by 11-inch
(280 mm) sheets, a standard for business stationery known
conventionally as letter sized paper. So, the 17 by 22-inch (560 mm) ream
became commonly used.
For example, a 500-sheet ream of 20# (20 lbs/500 sheet ream) 8.5 by 11-inch
(280 mm) copy paper
may be specified "10 M". 1000 cut sheets (or two reams) will weigh
10 lb (4.5 kg), half of the four reams of cut paper resulting from the
20# basis ream of 17 by 22-inch (560 mm) paper.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_density
... meaning, 2 reams (1000) of 17x22 @ 20# is 40 lbs (20 lbs/ream) to get to
8.5x11 you
divide by 4 giving the 10 lbs above since four 8.5x11 sheets per 17x22 sheet.
flat-rate box is for weight up to 20 lbs and costs us$42 intl. shipping cost.
Assuming weight is 40 lbs for 1,000 then shipping cost would total us$84.
You should confirm shipping weight with printer to be sure but I believe
my math is right.
