How big is a "standard" Banker's Box?  "Banker's Box" is actually a brand 
name for a complete line of various sized boxes.  If you're talking about a 
"standard" records storage box of approximately 12"x10"x15" I think that you 
can fit well over 3,000 sheets of paper in one if the papers aren't in 
folders.

<How many pieces of paper can fit into a, standard, Banker's Box?>

A banker box can hold anywhere from 1500-3000 (give or take) pieces of
paper, however that number will be affected by quality of the paper, how
well it is stacked, whether there are other items such as folders, etc.

I have consulted the following whitepaper over the years for
measurements like that (they say 2500 per box):
