Staples brights 24 lb colored paper neon

I purchased this paper to use for some origami models I was teaching for a Girl Scout Troop. The paper folds crisply without cracking. The paper also holds a fold well. The girls loved the various colors especially for the traditional origami magazine boxes made from rectangle shaped paper.. The neon pink colored paper I cut down into eight and a half inch squares that the girls used to make origami hearts for Valentine's Day. I used my HP printer to print out templates for the Ten-Sided Yin-Yang Globe designed by Phillip Chapman=Bell.
This paper works great in the copier. Previous paper was card stock & it is too stiff and gets jammed in the machine. This is also the perfect shade for all our important notices we need to supply to the employees..
When I bought this huge pack of paper I intended to get a big pack of cardstock to use in my classroom because I had $15 worth of Staples points to use. I've learned my lesson....never go into a store to buy something you really need when you've had a long day. My brain was so scattered and I had been looking at the cardtock but I liked the colors in this pack the best and completely overlooked the fact that it wasn't cardstock...ha! Although this was the case I have put this paper to great use as well in my classroom! The colors are bright and wonderful and my students love seeing all the color I've added to their class work activities!
