All papers are Acid-free & Lignin-free and are laser, inkjet & color copier guaranteed. Even though they all have fancy names and information, they are all basically light weight and can be used for lots of things. They are not heavy. They all can be folded easily.

My years in the printing business allowed me to get familiar with paper so I sought these out for your use in special projects needing acid free papers. I use these to mount old photos on, using archivally safe photo corners and inserting the sheet into archivally safe sheet protectors. I am then able to keep my photos in some logical order! Order in genealogy? What a novel concept! Notebook size, 8-12" x 11" and 25 sheets per pack.
