Copy and Multipurpose Paper
Having printed copies of documents is still important, and Sam’s Club has all the copy and multipurpose paper you could want. It’s important to choose the right paper for the job. For copy paper, you can choose from a variety of weights and brightness levels. There are also colored papers, construction papers and photo papers for creative uses.
Is copy paper the same as printer paper?
While you can use copy paper in your printer, copy paper is typically thinner. It's fine to use copy paper for drafts or home office tasks. But if you want high-quality printouts for work, go for printer paper.
Most copy paper is sold in legal or letter size. Popular copy paper brands include Hammermill, Boise, HP and Xerox.
This copy paper is good for laser printers or inkjet printers. Sam's Club also offers color paper for presentations, legal documents and manuscripts, and 100 percent recycled copy paper.
Paper Brightness
Bright white sheets of printer paper are a popular pick with offices because they provide an ideal background for text and images. They make your text stand out and add some vibrancy to your images, but ultra white copy sheets aren’t all the same. Manufacturers assign a brightness rating ranging from 0 to 100—where 100 counts for the brightest and whitest options. Much of Sam's Club great white print paper has a brightness rating between 80 and 100.
Color copy paper is a multi-use item, good for the office, school and home. Colored paper available in a rainbow of colors and different card stocks for manuscripts or other uses.
Paper Weight/Thickness
An easy way of determining the “feel” of a sheet of printer paper is to check its weight. Paper weight (measured in pounds) refers to the combined weight of 500 sheets.
What is the thinnest copy paper?
Sometimes you can find 17-lb paper, but more commonly, 20-lb paper is the thinnest.
What is the thickest paper I can use with my printer?
It depends on your printer. Many printers will be just fine with thicker papers such as cardstock and photo paper, but you should check the manual for your printer before you use anything that's very thick.
You’ll find different options from names like Hammermill and HP at Sam’s Club, but the more popular choices are sheets that fall within the 20 lbs. to 24 lbs. range. That’s because these sheets are the ideal weight for most basic tasks.
If you plan to print a special report or you’re looking for sheets that add a professional touch to your formal correspondence, thicker printer paper or color copy paper is the way to go. They look and feel sharp and are also more resistant to wear.
Choosing paper is pretty easy once you know what to look for. You want a sheet that is bright enough for your printing tasks with just the right amount of heft. You also want to choose paper that’s right for your printer, fax machine or copier. You’ll find paper designed for laser jet printers, paper that's suited for magazines and paper that's ideal for inkjet printers. Whatever your office supply needs, Sam’s Club has your premium multipurpose needs covered.
