Boise Polaris Premium Multipurpose

This was a good price for the paper. But the box comes broken open every time I order a case. Always some damage to the paper as a result. They need a stronger box, more strapping, or a beefier delivery person.

The paper is exactly what we want for our printer. It is brighter than the usual paper and the product has never failed us with our different printers over the years.

For the price you can't beat this paper. It is 24lb, which is a good bit heavier compared to a standard 20lb sheet, this is very handy for double sided copies because the paper thickness is greater meaning the sheet is more opaque. The sheet brightness is also rated at 97, which gives the colors a nice pop especially if you are using a quality color press, keep in mind most sheets are a 92 brightness and have a significantly duller appearance when compared side by side with a 97 brightness sheet. Also considering you can print two 8.5"x11" pages on this 11"x117" sheet you could potentially be saving money on your copy charges if you pay per impression/click. At about $50 per case this is about the same cost as a case of 20lb 92 brightness 8.5"x11" paper, which is absolutely amazing. If you have a cutter I highly recommend ordering this paper and cutting it in half if you run a lot of 8.5"x11" "high quality" paper which costs sometimes double a "standard" sheet, you will not be disappointed.

We required an 11 x 17 Tabloid product to color copy front and rear of our Rotary Auction flyers. This having been our 42nd annual auction we've had significant experience with a full range of paper products. Honestly, the paper proved outstanding for both the printing and machine folding process and I would not hesitate to purchase the Boise Polaris product again. My deduction from a 5-star is somewhat unfair to the fine Boise product as it has to do with the method of shipping the case. The thin little yellow bands applied to nearly all paper sold in multi-ream cases are not "UPS'd" or "FedEx'd" if you'll forgive my shortcut. They simply are not intended for cross-country trips. The case/box arrived shredded and bound by only one of the two original strappings. Every single ream outer packaging was torn/ripped to pieces. Surprisingly (and a testament of the quality of the paper) we lost only 100 or so sheets that were too crumpled to attempt in the commercial color copier we used. Some sheets required a more delicate handling and orientation for jam free feeding but they went through beautifully.

This heavier bond paper is vastly superior to the "co called" 20 lb. paper that these days is actually 18 lb. This also hardly ever jams compared to cheaper paper.

This is my favorite paper for general printing. It’s a much brighter and feels better / thicker in your hands than most other papers. Unfortunately, my recent order from Amazon was a huge disappointment. Out of the case four reams are unusable (bottom and top pairs). The case box looks like it went through a war zone and was dropped off a plane while still in flight. The box top had clearly been pulled up on both ends, only one band was in place, every single ream wrapper is torn the full length on both sides, and nearly half the paper is just waste. I likely will never order paper from Amazon again… though I’ll still source this particular paper through other vendors, but locally.

I am so confident that this is the best copy paper for my needs, I no longer have to consider any other paper. It is the one product I can just Ask Alexia to reorder for me. It is reasonably priced, but it is so much better than any other paper you have used. Many times, I have had client positively remark about how fancy it was. Also, can I say that buying paper was the last reason that I would still drive to the Office Depot, which is actually just across the street from my office. I hated going there. I hated overpaying for paper. I hated how it would practically cut off my fingers when I had to lug it up from the car. I love that someone else now carries it to my office for me for about half the price I used to be paying. Oh, the packaging is terrible. I don't know why Amazon insists on putting a large box of paper in an even bigger box. It always shows up beat to heck. Even the individual reams in the box tend to be ripped open because I think it has seen such violence from those who have had to schlep it from the warehouse to my office. Guys. I get it!

This is by no means a negative review of the product itself. I needed this particular paper weight desperately because I have a lot to print and my portable printer was jamming every single time with the cheap 20 lb weight paper my company supplies. So, I decided to buy this out of my own pocket. I was there when I received the notice it arrived and immediately went out to retrieve the package. I was so excited until I saw how it was delivered. I was extremely upset to find the box broken open and one of the individual reams split open and exposed. The outer cardboard box was completely split open on all sides. I thought that only one of the individual reams was split open, but no, when I took them all out of the package...every single ream was split open. What if I hadn't been home? What if it had been raining? What if animals would have gotten to it? I have taken the first open ream and used it in my printer. (NOTE: The reason I am not returning it is 1) I needed it so badly, probably a week before I broke down and ordered it, and 2) ultimately, I should still be able to use all or most of it) The paper size, weight, color, texture, etc. is perfect. It works like a charm and my little printer isn't jamming...Thank you for your quality product. My 3 star rating is no reflection on your company. I'm sorry it had to be diminished by the shoddy delivery I received. I receive a lot of packages, which are delivered flawlessly...this was just unfortunate.

Good value. Hey, paper is paper but the way that the product is packaged makes storage easy

It's paper, what else can I say.

All 5 reams of paper are damaged, seals were ripped off and curved corner. Long waiting and exorbitant price

Great papers. I can print on both sides

Le papier est très beau mais la boîte était lamentable les rames déchirer, la boîte coller de ruban le fond ne tenait plus.
