-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Weight of maps? Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 08:59:38 -0400 From: Weessies, Kathleen <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ I'm curious to know if anyone has a rule of thumb for the weight of maps. If someone had a stack of 100, 200, or 500 medium sized sheet maps, how much could I expect them to weigh? Someone doing an offers mailing recently might know the answer to this. Having an estimate of this would be helpful for computing rough postage estimates and for having employees take appropriate safety precautions before lifting. Yes, I could pull out some sets, take them to the mail room, and weigh them on their little bitty scale, but if someone has that information rattling around in their noggin it would save me the trouble.
