Staples carries very good products and their sales often cannot be beat. This paper works very well in my printer and is all I need it to be and is a good performer.
The first 5 ream is easy for a female to carry. I do not need others to help me to put in the car. Also I bought this on promotion price so it is really good deal. Our company use a paper a lot so the price is a really concern for our business. I have to shopping around to find a good price. Besides that the staples is a big brand I really feel comfortable to buy paper from staples. So I will check weekly ads every other days to see anything I need from staples not only for paper but also for other things I need.
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.
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.
