Different papers have basic sheet sizes by which they are measured. For example, the basic size for text paper is 25" x 38"; the basic size for cover paper is 20x26. Basis weight is defined as 500 sheets (or a ream) of a given paper cut to its basic size.
A 500 sheet stack of an offset sheet trimmed to 25" x 38" and weighing 80 pounds would be referred to as 80# offset. 500 sheets of heavier cover paper cut to a smaller size of 20" x 26" inches would weigh 80 lbs., thus we call it 80# cover.
