Neenah Cardstock Paper, 65-lb., Letter, 250 ct. - Bright White

Hi all,

If you have a BJ's warehouse club store nearby, and you are a member, and are in need of card stock

They have for $7.99 a 250 count pack of 65lb Bright White premium cardstock
This have long be a favorite of mine, and is about 5 to 6 dollars cheaper than getting it at an office supply store



If you don't have a membership, you can visit Groupon and get a half price membership, good for a year

Stock up, I did

Rick

Rick,

Thanks for the tip. I use 65# for everything except buildings.

Thanks for this info, Rick.

Neenah 65# bright white is my day-to-day cardstock, although I use Borden & Riley #234 Paris Paper for Pens (108 lb, but the same thickness as the Neenah) in 9x12-inch pads for special projects and those that need A4 paper, and Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte 44lb that you told me about for smaller models.

Not sure if we have a BJ's nearby, but for the quantity that I use, the price at Office Max is okay.

I can buy this "cover" stock at Staples for $14.50 a pack.
So this is a great price.
They used to sell Wausau...same thing as Neenah...but now only Staples brands.
I usually buy Staples "cardstock" which costs a bit more.
Its not as smooth and prints slightly different.

I can't remember exactly why I opt for card over cover stock,
but there was a reason.

I think I'll go pick up a pack of coverstock (its cheaper) and try it again.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what a BJ Warehouse is.
Not a Canadian retailer as far as I know.
Sounds more like a brothel! lol

I wonder if Costco sells cardstock?
I bet Sam's Club does...but they shut down up here.
