Box was taped shut - had obviously been previously opened. Paper covers on the reams of paper were torn on almost every single one. Some of the paper inside was dirty on the edges some slightly wrinkled. The overall impression was that it was old and dirty.
Started using this when an old printer habitually jammed using 20-lb paper. Kept using it ever since as it provides a more durable record of my work. Like that it's acid free.
