Hello, my office is hiring a student to scan many binders full of board
minutes. The binders consist of standard letter paper size. My question is,
what is an approximate rule of thumb pages-to-inches?

The reason I ask is because a filing cabinet of four drawers is frequently
said to contain 5 cubic feet of 10,000 pages. But on this basis, one binder
would have 325 pages to it. Naturally, the filing cabinet estimate must stem
from the fact that paper is more loosely filed in it than binders. But the
binders are severely compressed. My guess is between 500 -700 pages but I am
not sure.

What do you think?
