Discarded Brochures

I don't know, Mike. A ream of paper from the office supply store has 500 sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper in it. That translates into 166 3-panel brochures. So yeah, 20,000 or so. Why?
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know is that the approximate cost for re-printing 20,000 brochures should be around $2,000-3,000.
ReplyDelete500 sheets of 8.5x11 paper should produce 500 3-panel pamphlets, not 166.
ReplyDeleteUnless each panel is 8.5x11, and someone tapes three sheets together at the edges.
That's right, Bob. I shouldn't try to do math after midnight. What I was thinking (or trying to think) of was how those folded brochures would stack, thus folded. I can't tell what size the brochure is, but it looks like a panel size of maybe 4 x 9?
ReplyDeleteA dozen reems to a box. That's 6000 sheets to a box. The claim by the city was that only 20,000 brochures were disposed of. That would be four boxes.
ReplyDeleteFor all his 110 e-mails of seeking the truth, he still did not get a straight answer.
I don't have the e-mails yet. I'm tracking them now. But, the math so far, doesn't compute.
10 reams to a box from Office Depot, but these boxes don't look that big to me. I really doubt if there are 6,000 brochures in each box. Isn't there an invoice for the print job somewhere? Do we know who printed the job?
ReplyDeleteI understand there is an invoice in the 110 pages of e-mails cited in the resolution.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get my hands on those today and will report what I find.
