For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.48 equates to the non metric measure of four dozen (dozen = 12). Pack sizes and boxes have been made to fit 48. There are probably so many stock accounting systems geared up to multiples of 12 that it is easier to stick with this traditional measure than change. Also, cards of say, 24 peanut packets form a more pleasing layout at 8x3. Cheers, Andy.
