There were marks on about half the pieces of paper in the package. Was printing something important that others would be reading and had to print pages over because of the marks. Finally found myself going through the package to take out the marked paper. Only about half the package was good to use.
There was a great selection of colors. Often it is preferable to get attention to use colors versus white. The paper quality is great and I highly recommend this product for getting additional attention to your message or flyer. I would definitely purchase any of Staples pastel paper choices in the future. No need to pay extra for a name brand you would just be wasting your money when you can get the same quality with Staples brand and an excellent choice of colors. Check them out!
We use a variety of colors of paper in our office to differentiate between different forms - goldenrod is one of my favorites. It is not TOO bright; text is still easy to read.
This paper is great if you use color to organize your office. The blue is soft on the eyes and easy to read. Sometimes colored paper is too overpowering but this is just right. Stands out just enough. It is a little thin for important documents but for reports that are going to be filed away it is perfect. Great price.
I was into Staples looking for colored paper for a flyer I was running off. I looked at some other brands but realized that the Staples brand was running a special that week and if you purchased their paper they had some sort of rebate offer on it. I could not believe that the color that I was looking for was the exact color I needed for the project. I had been to a few stores and only needed a couple sheets of paper thinking I really do not need an entire pack of paper but at that price and a rebate I almost got that paper for pennies! Great deal Staples!
