The 96-pack of Crayola construction paper is a standard choice for academic-grade crafting. The paper is made from a groundwood pulp that provides a "toothy" surface texture, which is especially helpful for the adhesion of dry media like colored pencils, crayons, and charcoal. With a weight between 58 and 65 lbs, these sheets offer more structural rigidity than standard bond paper, allowing them to hold their shape in freestanding 3D projects like cylinders or simple origami.
Specifications confirm the 9 x 12 inch size, providing a generous area for artwork. The sulfite-dyeing process used for these sheets results in better lightfastness than generic alternatives, though the paper is not considered "archival quality" and will eventually fade if left in direct sunlight. When working with liquid glues, applying the adhesive in small dots or thin lines helps prevent the cellulose fibers from swelling or warping, ensuring the finished project stays flat.
The deep-dyed fibers in this construction paper mean that when the paper is torn for a collage, the color is consistent throughout the edge.
If you find that your projects require an even higher volume of paper for classroom settings, the Alitte 600-sheet bulk pack offers a larger quantity for high-frequency use.
