because like others said: the nerve endings are close to surface of skin but also because you have more pain receptors on your fingers

because in the fingers and hands (where most papercuts occur) the nerve endings are closer to the surface of the skin.

Papercuts are more painful because, due to all the stuff in paper, some of it is left behind, in the wound when you get cut. Then, the wound quickly closes in on itself, sealing the foreign matter inside. The foreign matter stimulates pain receptors in your finger, causing the stinging sensation.

Because your nerve endings are so close to the skin.
