This is a simple green paper. It has good edges doesn't rip easily but it is fairly easy to fold. We used it for a leaf origami project. We used one square *8.5x8.5 and it was nice and square. The surface is not fuzzy like some papers it is soft and we used a variety of pens including colored sharpies and there wasn't bleeding. For the price it is a good deal. It isn't boutique paper but it isn't cheap copy paper either. I wish I could find thinner paper in colors but it seems that is all they had.It worked for us. I look forward to more colors in brighter tones and for thinner needs.
I was into Staples looking for colored paper for a flyer I was running off. I looked at some other brands but realized that the Staples brand was running a special that week and if you purchased their paper they had some sort of rebate offer on it. I could not believe that the color that I was looking for was the exact color I needed for the project. I had been to a few stores and only needed a couple sheets of paper thinking I really do not need an entire pack of paper but at that price and a rebate I almost got that paper for pennies! Great deal Staples!
There was a great selection of colors. Often it is preferable to get attention to use colors versus white. The paper quality is great and I highly recommend this product for getting additional attention to your message or flyer. I would definitely purchase any of Staples pastel paper choices in the future. No need to pay extra for a name brand you would just be wasting your money when you can get the same quality with Staples brand and an excellent choice of colors. Check them out!
I like to design and make my own cards staionary and miscellaneous things for my grandkids and older friends too. I like the weight of this paper for what I make.
I bought this paper for my nieces to use when they are at my house. They are 3 and 7 and like to draw cut color and paste. Using colored paper instead of just white paper allows them to use their creative talents.
