Staples Salmon Pastel Colored Copy Paper

I have never been able to find this color paper from any other store except Staples. I use it for church-related projects and also for my pre-school classroom. It is very durable not flimsy like copy paper I have purchased elsewhere and it never jams in my copier. I can always count on a professional looking document to send to my congregation or my parents when I use Staples copy paper.
These pastel colored copy paper are good for copying printing and writing. They absorb the ink quickly and don't smudge. Plus the color selection is good-- they include give colors. Moreover they are also ideal for making paper airplanes. My kids are at the age of playing paper airplanes and these make excellent airplanes. The weight is just right and the colors add an extra dimension to the whole experience. I am sorry if you find this review off-topic and/or useless. I am trying to hit 400 characters to earn some bonus points.
The paper is a lovely touch to everything I need to print. I am a teacher so it makes life so much easier when I can say "Please take out the blue sheet I gave you."
we need to run 7500 flyers to send out to our area elementary schools announcing our annual Princess Tea. To save money we decided to print them ourselves at the schools print shop. Buying the paper in cases saved us money both on the order and the printing. Little girls come to the Tea to see their favorite storybook princess and have "High Tea". These flyers bring in revenue so being able to save money on the printing and paper really helps with the budget we have to work with. Great product!
Sometimes I think I am done with construction paper. At least for special projects copy paper holds up better. Valentine making this week went smoothly using this lavender paper and also the red paper from the Brights assorted pack from Staples. Kids folded the paper and added doilies and stickers and messages of their own. We use Staples' glue sticks OR glue pads I made from glue sponges that fit into little dollar store plastic boxes. I had construction paper out too but the cards made with this copy paper turned out nicer.
I use parchment paper with my students for maps and special drawings but it can get expensive if you need a lot of it. So this ivory paper looks almost as special. I copy their timeline figures on this paper and they cut out the figures to make History Timeline projects. Some kids like to TEAR apart the timeline figures so it looks sort of vintage and scrappy. Handling the timeline figures many times builds retention. We read them then they are looking at them again as they cut them one more time as they glue them to the correct spot in their timeline books. Review is easy as it is all spread out on their timeline pages and it looks so "old fashioned" too!
Our office uses this paper for flyers and advertisement. Prints easy no jams and prints will well. Sheet quantity is great at 500 sheets per ream and the price is great.
