I was honored that Staples sent me an email asking me to review my recent purchase of 3 by 5 unruled white index cards. I was so excited to receive such a request that I have pondered greatly as to how to best describe the white unruled 3 by 5 index cards. I will do my very best to give an honest review.The cards were labeled as three inches by five inches. Staples did a great job with this description. Each one is in fact 3 by 5.According to the package, there were supposed to be 500 cards in that neatly wrapped package. Now I did not count each one, but I would certainly estimate that there were about 100 in each of the five packages contained within the big package. That was a welcomed relief to get all 500.Some idex cards have little lines all over them. The reason I bought the unruled index cards is because I did not want those lines on my cards. When I was in the store, I could see that they did not have those lines on them and I knew then that this was exactly what I was looking for. You did not have to rely on the label as you could see right through the wrapper. How easy was that!The cards were labeled as white. I guess there are different shades of white but, all and all, they looked white to me. They are not bright, bright white, but there is a good contrast between stuff written on them with a pen or printed with a computer. Using that as a guideline, they are white enough and pass the test. I started to mark Staples down because they call them index cards since I use these like scratch pads to make notes on. I guess that if I use them as scratch pads rather than for indexing work, it's me misuing the product rather than Staples putting the wrong label on it. They could call them multi-use cards for indexing and scratch pads, but then somebody might complain becasue they use them as name cards for place settings (print names on the bottom half, fold them in half and they stand up like toy tents on the table). Just plain old index cards seems like a good enough name the more I think about it.If you are looking for white, unruled, three by five index cards (or scratch pad cards or label cards) then this is exactly what you are looking for.

While the cost was good for 500 cards, this is the thinnest cardstock for cards that I've seen since I last bought 3x5 cards! It's like paper! It is hopeless for making flashcards using a marker or Sharpie. It bleeds right through, even though I wrote lightly and quickly.
Don't use a marker if you must use these....but, you need something thick and dark for flashcards for students....
I do NOT know what to recommend as the cards all appeared to be equally flimsy from what I could see.
Disappointing. I'll try another brand at a competitor to see if this is endemic. I can't use junk with my students; it has to be sturdy.

Comments about Staples® 3" x 5" Unruled White Index Cards, 500/Pack:

I searched several stores for unruled cards without any luck. But, after checking with Staples was lucky to find unruled ones. Only wish that they had sold different sized packs. I actually needed less than 100 cards for my class project. Smaller amounts would have been great, but at least you sold the unruled variety. Thank you.

The unlined Staples brand cards are a nice bright white and are perfect for the project I have been working with the Cub Scouts on. I would reccommend these for anyone who needs a bright white colored unlined index card!

                A:

                Index cads are a heavier stock (generally 110lbs) you would need to check and see what the maximum paper weight your printer can handle to see if these will work.

                A:

                I don't see any reason why you couldn't use them in a laser printer, but they are very thin, like paper, not card stock.

                A:

                I tried it in my laser printer, but it would not feed. Check the specs for your printer to see if it will print on a 3x5 card. Some printers will feed a card that size and others will not. The print quality of my print on inkjet was almost as good as laser. The paper type would be suitable for laser printing.
