Paper Sizes and Choosing the right paper

No matter how you use paper, we offer a wide range to suit your business needs.  Whether you need premium laser paper, recycled, white or coloured sheets, we offer a wide selection of sizes and weights.  In addition to standard cut paper, did you know we also have a large range of specialised papers, certificates, listing paper and business cards?

Looking after your paper
The storage and handling of paper is often overlooked.  By being aware of a few simple facts, paper jams and other problems can be avoided.

Damp
Paper is manufactured with low moisture levels.  If exposed to damp, it will absorb moisture from the air and will not feed efficiently due to a curling effect.

Storage
It is recommended that paper is stored in its wrapper until you need it.  This will prevent damage but also help to minimise running issues.

Heat
Paper stored next to heat sources or in direct sunlight can become over dry.  This will also lead to a curling effect and can lead to jams.

Cold Conditions
If paper has been stored in cold conditions, it should be allowed to reach room temperature before being put into printers and copiers.
