Copy & Multipurpose Paper

Copy and Multipurpose Paper

Offices run on copy paper, so it makes sense that you want nothing but the best for your letters, reports and other printing tasks. We’re here to help at Sam’s Club® and offer different types of copy paper, including matte, glossy and laser 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 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. Many of these printer paper sheets at Sam’s Club have a brightness rating between 80 and 100.

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. 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 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 you covered.
