Very poor packaging

Plastic wrap does not provide any protection to the bottom of the package so the bottom ream gets damaged in normal handeling. Especially the corners. Figure on throwing away 100 sheets from the bottom ream.
The paper was damaged in one of the corners so when we used it in our copy machine it caused a misfeed. We hope that Staples will be able to review their products before stocking the shelves.
Many sheets of paper in each ream are wrinkled/creased. Since the paper wrapping on each ream is similar to other brands of paper I can only assume that the wrinkling was caused by either the manufacturing process or by the plastic wrap used to package the 5 reams.
Purchased two - five ream cases to replace ten ream case of Staples paper that is defective; reams contain sheets that are shorter than 8-1/2 x 11 the short sheets are intermingled within the ream which made the paper garbage and only good for the recyclers. I would think Staples would stand behind the products of its manufacturers. Hopefully this product will have a better quality control.
This is a good inexpensive product that I buy when I need standard paper. I love the rebate and intend to purchase more in the future. Sometimes I buy better paper but have to pay much more. Most of my paper I use for church or Gideon purposes. This I donate for Christian purposes. I appreciate your sales and promotions to help defer the cost at these difficult financial times. Please continue to offer these deals. I have purchased my computer printer and all related services in the past from you.
This is good quality copy paper for your basic every day needs. Nothing fancy about it. It is relatively inexpensive especially when you catch it on sale.
