The Bubu 200-sheet set is designed as a high-volume entry point for those practicing folding techniques. The paper utilizes a standard wood-pulp base with a weight of approximately 70-80 GSM. While described as "Double Sided," the material is solid-dyed, meaning the color is consistent through the sheet rather than having different colors on each side. This build quality is reliable for high-frequency practice, though the material may not maintain the structural memory required for very complex, multi-layered designs.
From a usability perspective, the paper features a grain structure that helps it resist tearing equally in most directions. This is a practical safety feature for beginners who might apply uneven pressure during complex reverse folds. The material is sturdy enough to handle 15 to 20 manipulations before the fibers show signs of fatigue or "pilling" at the corners. The matte finish provides helpful tactile feedback, which helps prevent the paper from slipping during precise crimp folds.
Specifications indicate that the edges are cut with high precision, maintaining a variance of less than 0.5mm to assist with corner-to-corner alignment. However, users should be aware that the internal pulp is white; heavy creasing on darker sheets may expose these white fibers. Additionally, it is best to store these sheets in a low-humidity environment to ensure they do not stick together over time due to the high ink saturation.
If you find that a larger quantity is necessary for a big project, the 1000-sheet bulk pack offers a similar material grade in a much higher volume.
