Try here:
Officeworld.com store

In the Select Manufacturer slot pick Pacon.
Then choose Paper
Then choose Art & Drating Materials
Then choose Tagboard
There are manilla and white available.

The heavy weight stuff is around 252gsm or 93 lb cover and 140 lb index. My caliper measures it as around 0.27mm / 0.0105" . Comes in packs of 100 sheets of 18 X12 for $11.48 USD per pack

The medium weight is around the same as 65lb (cover) cardstock or 177gsm. My caliper measures it as around 0.21mm / 0.008". Comes in packs of 100 sheets of 18 x 12 for $10.29 USD per pack.

I have used the 9 x 12 heavyweight and medium weight cut down to A4 size with very little problems. An Epson printer had a little trouble with the thickness of the heavyweight. My current Canon printer has no problems at all when using the rear tray feed.

There are other sizes available also.

I received prompt service and delivery when I orderd from OfficeWorld.com a while back.

Looks like a $50 USD or more order gets free shipping.

I second the officeworld source....the tagboard works just fine, and the free shipping is sure nice (after suffering to save up the needed $50 out of the lunch money).

UPDATE: They charge a real lot for 13" x 19", Staples was way cheaper and shipping was free.
