Staples Select is a standard utility paper designed for high-volume use. This 10-ream carton provides 5,000 sheets of 20 lb paper, which is the benchmark weight for everyday printing and copying. It is engineered to work reliably in high-speed machines, making it a staple for home offices and school supply closets.
The paper is acid-free, which means it is rated for long-term archiving and won't become brittle over time. With a brightness rating of 92, it offers a standard white finish that is suitable for most home tasks. However, its lower opacity means that it is not the best choice for double-sided printing if you are using dark ink or highlighters, as the content will likely show through.
To maintain the best results, it is recommended to keep the reams sealed until they are needed, especially in humid environments, to prevent the sheets from absorbing moisture and curling. The outer carton provides a convenient way to stack the paper, but be aware that the 50 lb total weight of the box may require a sturdy storage location.
If you prefer a paper that is sourced with specific sustainability certifications, the HP FSC Certified 3-ream case is a high-quality alternative.
