If anyone is looking for 80 lb. Neenah, I have bought it at Office Depot/Office Max -- in 11x17 size, which is just two 8.5x11 sheets. Ugh, just tried to edit the post I wrote before and lost it, so am starting over, sorry. Which Neenah is it? Usually big box stores sell Neenah paper that is thinner than Neenah Classic Crest, which is cardstock many card makers use. But you might be using it for something else. Just an example, 80 lb. Neenah Classic Crest is 216 gsm, and 80 pound Neenah Exact Index is 118 gsm, so Classic Crest is nearly twice as thick (216 vs. 118). It seems nutty that paper that’s the same in pounds isn’t the same thickness, but the exact science doesn’t matter; we can just compare gsm numbers to check how different cardstock thicknesses compare. Jennifer McGuire demos how the same weight/lbs. isn’t always the same thickness it in this video, starting at at about 45 seconds: youtu.be/zixSptFRwQw |

I don't have the packaging with me at work. I have used what I bought at OD/OM for card bases and layers. |

I received the Hammermill CS from Amazon over the weekend and it’s the good stuff, hurrah! I’m attaching some photos of the packaging. It is the largest ream of paper I’ve ever handled, even taller than a ream of the good Neenah. And so much less expensive than buying it from SSS 25 sheets at a time. While I am not a foil-er, this CS is sooooo smooth I would imagine it would be great for that as well. Once I finished up the team of Neenah that I have, I may switch to this. cmpeter, give it a try again  The ream of Hammermill is about 3/16” taller than a ream of Neenah Classic Crest:  And the paper info on the package:  |

A suggestion if I may. If it bothers you, there is an “ignore” feature you can implement. It is clear from her previous posts that the member in question primarily posts to promote her business 🤷🏼♀️ |

Very obvious what their motivation is. |
