Offset is a type of paper. Often it is called text-weight. Some other types are Bond, Cover, Index.

The related link has more information as well as an equivalency chart. Looking at the chart: there is no entry for 96 lb, but you can interpolate between 90 and 100 pound, so 96 pound offset is about the same 'weight' paper as 38 pound bond.

Note the grams per square meter (GSM) column. Most paper manufacturers will specify the gsm of the paper as well as the 'common weight' to help compare. The GSM is the mass (in grams) of 1 square meter of 1 sheet of the paper.
