The simple way is with a screw micrometer, just put the paper in, do up the jaws with the ratchet and there is your answer. I would measure in a few places and average the results for best accuracy. If you don't happen to have a screw micrometer you could get a rough answer by measuring a stack of paper (say a ream of 500 sheets) with a ruler and dividing the answer by the number of sheets.
