I ordered a case of this extra white paper because my husband does lots of printing of lessons to share with others and prefers to print two-sided to save space in binders etc. While the paper itself is in good shape and completely useable the cardboard carton the reams shipped in is beaten up and battered extra tape on it etc. I don't know at which part of the process this occurred but believe it warrants a look at the overall shipping process to determine how to avoid this sloppy handling and presentation of your cases of paper in the future.
I have been using this paper for years and I love the way it holds up in old files and holds ink. It doesn't fade and is not too thin. Perfect for our business use and our also for our home office use.
