The item is as one would expect (just five reams of multi-purpose paper)... but can be handy when a case is unwieldy. The smaller size and plastic wrapping allow the item to be stored in a back seat (e.g. just behind a driver's seat in a Prius on the floor) and to be carried with relative ease. Also worth noting is that for all intents and purposes "paper is paper"; since 92 brightness is standard the paper can be donated to a local school that might need *just* a little more... meaning everyone is happy!
I found the Multi-Purpose Paper advertised by Staples as a high quality product. Service was excellent and I have always received the best quality products that I have purchased. In addition the computer techs have given me useful advice when asked a question.
I liked the price of this paper. Also I like the fact that it is only 5 reams of paper which will last a long time based on my actual usage of paper for my printing needs. I don't think it is a wise move for me to buy the 10 ream case of paper. Storage would be a problem with the purchase of a full case. But with only five reams it is easier for me to store the individual packs of paper on my printer cabinet. 5 reams is much easier to transport from the store into my home. I also like the quality of this multi purpose paper and the brightness of the paper is good. I will definately purchase this type of paper again.
