Color is key!

This paper comes in a great selection of colors. I am a teacher and I find it very useful in the classroom. I use it for craft projects in my writing and art areas for seasonal printing for framing children's art work and being able to accent student work. It is a little thicker than most copy paper and the children like to use it for practicing their cutting skills. I can also use it in a paper shredder to get filler for different projects or for a fun medium in the sand table. Color is the key!
These pastel papers are great for all sorts of uses from printing to drawing to making cards etc. it gives a little extra to your work rather than using plain white paper all the time.
I usually order this product on line from a different office supply company. But I needed this paper for a project and did not have time to wait for it to be shipped to me. I went to my local Staples store and found the Staples brand paper in the color I needed. I was able to buy it that day without waiting and get back to work and finish my project. I had never bought the "Staples" brand of paper before and I was worried it might not run through my printer efficiently. But it runs just as good as the 'name-brand' paper that I have previously purchased. I will most likely purchase the 'Staples' brand again on my future purchases.
I read a lot of reports with a lot of numbers. This can tire my eyes. The little bit of color takes a lot of glare away. I find that my eyes are not as tired using this Ivory paper.
I love your colored paper. I find that the lighter colors are very easy to read. I have purchased the darker colors which are brighter and more attracting to the eye but are harder to read if one is typing many words on it in normal typing size. This is a very appealing color. I use it if I want the letter or information that I am writing to stand out apart from the usual white paper. The use of colors in typing paper also allows you to easily sort particular subjects when putting them away & can easily be found when retrieving it.
