    What is full size? Foolscap? A4?

    What is the GSM weight of the paper?

    How heavy is the envelope?

    Honey, you can get a set of scales from any paraphenalia dealer on the street for about $2.

    Or you could go the simpler way and go to Office Depot

    I was told 5-6 sheets of paper. I haven't tested that though.

    I used to write to a lady in Virginia, who was only allowed to received 1 oz of mail per letter. That meant 5 full sized sheets of paper, or 5 photographs, including the No. 10 envelope (4 1/8" x 9 1.2"). I have a postage scale that weighs to the nearest 100th of an oz. Those letters usually weighed in at .94 to .96 oz. So, you might have enough room for a snip of hair. Hope that helps.
