Best arts & crafts paper according to redditors

As others have mentioned, the glassine bags are regional. I don't believe anyone has mentioned yet though that the other reason, beyond the branded stamp, that they're sometimes referred to as stamps or stamp bags is that their intended use is for just that -- postage stamps. You can get a better look at them, unfolded, on this amazon listing.

If you've ever bought rare stamps from a dealer usually a single stamp will come in one of these sized bags. Multiples will be in larger ones. They're literally just like waxed paper bags though.

Where I live in Canada it is never sold like this. H always comes in mini zip bags or in folded up pieces of paper referred to as "flaps".

Edit: oops, looks like u/DeeboComin beat me to the punch with the postage stamp info. Sorry!

Maruman makes a paper that is supposed to be "foldable" ruled paper to fit a B5 binder, but when it's unfolded, it's B4 size. I haven't used this paper, but I have used other Maruman products and never been displeased with their stuff.

JetPens has it w/ US shipping, or if you have a Kinokuniya bookstore near you, they carry Maruman products there.

Otherwise, the next closest within US availability: graph paper, but to eliminate all the horrific garbage you've probably been encountering, it has to be clearly marked on the packaging as having "non-photo" or "non-reproducible" grids. This means markings will be faint, and also means the paper will not suck because it's being marketed to artists and for drafting purposes. It will also come in sizes larger than Letter. Brands that will fulfill all of this include Bienfang, Staedtler, Alvin, and Canson. You may be able to find Bienfang at crafting stores, Staedtler I have seen in the drafting section of office supply stores, Alvin and Canson, you'll more than likely have to find at an art/architectural supply store, or via the internet.

See also, thicker vellum paper is made with non-repro grid lines, and comes in a huge variety of sizes including rolls that can be cut to size ...but...that is probably overkill as the last time I used a giant sheet of vellum was in perspective class to create the perfect drafted drawing, not as a notebook. (they do sell vellum notebooks but, they're tiny )

Understood. I was in a similar situation and for what I wanted I couldn't find it available so I did my own thing. Have a gander here.

About the dot pad, I would have suggested that but I don't think the pitch of the dots is narrow enough for what you described. I would have suggested a 0.1" vellum graph pad but you said the grid was too distracting.

Wish you luck in finding "just the right fit." :-)

What sort of question is that?

You don't say what sort of financial plan this is, or why the type of paper matters. 20-pound bond? Archival vellum?
Papyrus?

I use this 11x17 design vellum. You can draw/illustrate directly onto it, or take it to a copy shop and have them run it through their laser (the sheet is tabloid size).

If you draw on it, go over illustration with an opaque marker.

I've burned screens with this using both methods with good results. Simple shapes to halftones, using my 500watt worklamp. It is transparent enough to flip it backwards on the screen for the burn. I just put a sheet of non-uv protecting glass over it.

Something like these. It was at walmart, and came with about 15 sheets a pack. Make sure you use white if you try it.

Well 1st off they can be manufactured legal without having a need to give to anyone on why they are being made. I own a few different little businesses and when I registered my companies I have never once been asked the reason I’m doing the business and if I was asked I would tell them to pack sand unless it falls under certain laws. Now when you do register a business you do have to put down or select what type of business the wax bags would more than likely fall under manufacturing and that would be all that’s needed.

This is America bro you have an idea that you think will work then you go for it, there are numerous reason for those bags, they are just know as the dope bags, not sure why I’m even wasting my time explaining this as there isn’t anything illegal about manufacturing those bags, it is not no small underground businesses making these, it is large companies that mass produce those.

They are also available on Amazon in bulk that comes pre stamped and are sold to store stamps or small candies, my guess is they are mass produced in China
