The quality and weight of the paper is good. The color makes the paper stand out when mixed in with plain white bond. The paper holds up well when kept and filed for years. Coming from an accounting background I use the canary bond to keep track of receipts. I tape copies of receipts onto the paper. Since receipts come in different sizes they can get lost. When they are taped onto the front of a sheet of canary bond everything is the same size making them easy to handle and the color helps to identify a receipt.
I put my weekly progress reports on these for the parents. It makes it easy for them to know where it is with a glance and I know who has signed and sent back just as quickly. A win win for both parent and teacher.
I used this color paper to make an insert into our church bulletin to advertise our Christmas Musical program in December. I advertised it for 2 weekends. The colored paper is an eye catcher and makes the viewer pay more attention to what is being submitted. It worked well as the attendance at the program was good.
I was thrilled to find I can purchase an assorted ream of colored paper. In the past I had to purchase separate packages for each color I wanted to use. I would be even more thrilled if the assortment of color paper included a few other colors (such as lilac aqua). I would also be more delighted if I could choose the colors I wanted to make up a 400 sheet pack of colored paper. I am sure there are other customers that would feel the same way. This is a great way to provide cost effectiveness to your customers.
I used this for a bulletin for a "Longest Night" Service on 12/21. This is a service for those that grieve or are just not in the Christmas spirit. The gray background for the bulletin helped to set the mood - that of a more somber service.
