I was shopping around for copy paper due to urgency. I found adds from different stores and price/quantity were my one stop shop special. I was totally out of copy paper and clipped out coupons. I checked a large department store but left there to use last day coupon. Right inside the doors was the special for the coupon I printed out. I didn't need to spend $25 or $50 in order to use the coupon. I picked up the 5 ream bundle and went to check out but had another coupon for cents off regular item. I needed security envelopes and at check out I could use both coupons. The cashier was the friendliest ever and happy to make my purchase with Staples.
This Staples product is a great value compared to the price of the very similar brand name papers. However after opening it it's new packing - shrink wrapped without a box - as a low volume user I am left with the ability to store it in the numerous places I did with the prior closed box. In the enclosed box the product remained clean and intact until fully used and was easy to handle and store. Now the reems slide and fall and collect dust until used.
The quality of the paper is a little thinner than what I would use as a quality paper. It is great for copies but for presentations I would go to the 22 pound or 24 pound paper. However I use this paper primarily for copies.
We use Staples paper almost all the time for a lot of home business printing as well as personal. This was a particularly good deal and the 5 pack bundles are easier to store than the large cases. We maintain at least 15 reams in back-up at all times.
