Even though this is described as 'pastel' it was a bit brighter than I desired. It will be used for church bulletins and I was hoping for more of a "strawberry ice cream" pink but it comes out more 'eraser pink". A pretty color but a bit much for our older gentlemen in our congregation. Our pre-school kids will love though!
I'm always looking for ways to make my printed material stand out from the norm. If I want people to notice my announcements for events etc. then pastel colors is the way to go. Staples has a great selection of colors that are appropriate for most occasions. Price per package is higher than white paper but it's worth it to get your message noticed.
This paper is a good value. I want to use it to send mail to customers that will be noticed and opened. No more plain white paper and envelopes that will be ignored. The only downside is that there are no matching envelopes. Staples sells great color copy paper -- but there are no matching envelopes to make my mailings look really professional. I am looking to send mail that will be opened because of the unique packaging. I hope that envelopes will be available in every color of paper that Staples sells even if only available online.
We own a business and print over 3000 school lunch menus a month. We also print flyers and our school calendar. We always use colored paper to make the copies more interesting and to be able to distinguish the different months. This paper holds up great and is durable.
