Needed 20 weight
I foolishly bought this without noticing that it was 24 pound and had to return it. I had previously bought the 30% recycled paper and loved it so I was excited to see 50%. Very disappointed to learn that 50% only comes in 24 pound. I guess the moral is always real everything so you know what you're getting before you buy.

Staples 50% Recycled 8.5 x 14 Multipurpose Paper 24 lbs.
Staples 50% Recycled 8.5 x 14 Multipurpose Paper 24 lbs works well; however I'm disappointed the ream's covering was busted open due to improper packing in the delivery box

I prefer 100% recycled paper
I had to settle for this because I went three times to get 100% recycled and you did not have it and the associates couldn't tell me why. I need to look elsewhere I guess. I bought it because it was better than virgin paper but you should continue to provide 100% recycled. This has happened to me before.

Great quality
This paper is very nice for special occasions. It is bright and allows for good contrast with black ink.

Hard-to-find copy paper
It is difficult to find 24lb legal paper in stock anywhere. We were happy to find it at Staples online.

We love this paper however shrink wrap it when shipping by Fed X. Boxes arrive damaged and half the reams are split open. This was Staples problem when we purchased from them. We know you're a subsidiary of Staples but please do better when shipping. Fed X is the worst.

good for text papers of little handmade books
I used this paper for its weight and I liked the way a pencil felt on it for writing and drawing. I appreciate that it is 50% recycled. The paper made a good text paper for handmade little books.

Retail ream of paper is pricey.
Pricey per ream retail. Also 96 brightness could be dropped down to 86-88 brightness if it means improved environmental protection plus lower price.

Staples Recycled Paper
I purchased this paper for use with a monochrome laser printer (black ink onto white paper) for records documents simple charts collecting data writings etc. The paper is fully adequate for these purposes.
