DIY CREW Brown Kraft Paper Roll, 30 Inch x 150 Feet, Made in USA

I purchased the Black Paper Roll 18” x 150’ to give it a try as roll film backing paper. I cut a piece to roll up some 70mm film (on a 116 film spool) and marked the frames with a silver Sharpie. A couple of things...the paper is at 4 mil (0.004”), just like the Kodak film backing paper, except, there is no coating on this paper, which I only see as a negligible inconvenience because the paper won’t readily retain that “curl”, but after leaving it curled up on its own for a few weeks, it keeps some of the curl. The next thing, it looks great, like it will do the job and it held up well on the prototype roll. I shone an LED flashlight directly, point-blank, onto the Kodak paper and it did not bleed through in subdued daylight (indoors), but doing the same with this paper, even though it is the same thickness, the light did bleed through, at that point resembling very very dark parchment paper. By then I had already shot the roll of film and developed it. I haven’t had the time to make prints, so I can only attest to the negatives at a glance - no apparent fogging. I did notice no LED light bled through with two layers of this paper, so on the upside, while rolled up the film is safe. I did anticipate fogging, so when I would advance the film I turned my back to the sun to protect the number viewing window. In the end, I wish it was coated, and a bit more “filled-in” so that one layer of paper will not allow light to pass, but for what is readily available these days, this is a viable alternative to proper roll film backing paper. Have fun experimenting!

A GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SHIPPING PAPER THOUGH LIGHTER My prior use of paper, was actual a roll from Scotch at 60#. This paper seemed much thinner and my first thought was that I hope it was as durable for shipping. This is all I use this paper for. So far it has worked well and I have not found the paper to be too light for shipping. It has never ripped when I have used it for wrapping. SAVE SOME MONEY DUE TO COST AND LESS WASTE Scotch 30 in x 30 ft. roll of 60# paper at Target was $4.29. ($3.99 here in Amazon) This roll of 30 in x 150 ft. roll of 40# paper at Amazon was $20.75 and would be $4.15 for a similar amount. So the savings is not that extreme. However I think the waste is less. If you think about it, when I get to the end of a roll, it won’t necessarily match what I need, so some will be wasted. I essentially put off the end of the roll 4 times (as 150 is 5 x 30), so I had less waste besides. Of course this is only useful to you if you need this much paper. Don’t forget though 60# weight which is what you you find in the store most often, is heavier than the 40# here. BOX IN CAME IN HANDY FOR STORAGE This paper came in a long box that it fit well in, so for storage, I have kept it in the box. That has worked well, so the paper end did not get ripped or crushed in my closet in storage. The plastic end pieces that can be used to mount it on a roller, slide out, so kind of tricky if you grab them to pull the roll out of the box.

This is a large roll of paper for the price. I would say it is of a medium to thin weight. We were very happy with our purchase. We ordered two and were able to make this beautiful waterfall prop for a Father Daughter Ball at our church. Base was 2 8 ft ladders we used on the stage and rock spilled down to floor in front of stage so total of about 12 ft tall. This paper was a little thinner than some, but perfect for our application. We just crumpled and then stapled small gathered areas to make it look like rock. We then stapled the sections together longways to make a rock "fabric" Then we added some blue fabric and lights for the water. Super fun and this paper made it super affordable for such a big prop! Sure it would be great for lots of other applications!

Amazon provides prompt delivery. If there is a delay, they always notify you. The brown kraft paper was just the right size and quantity.

Thinner than expected. Hard to find details about how thick this paper is ... it's there just not obvious. If you scroll way down and find "Measurements" ... there it says "58 lb". Which honestly I'm skeptical of as IMO it's not 3X as thick as your everyday 20lb printer paper. Usable for my needs, but tears easily for what I'm doing ... annoying but usable. Next time I'll pay more attention to thickness.

This is good quality paper, not cheap, thin paper.

I needed paper to do pattern drafting for sewing patterns, and this worked perfectly. It has a large area and thing enough where it's not too stiff, but thick enough to not tear easily. Perfect

Perfect to use for the bottom of my parrot's cage

bueno

Product is exactly as described. The quality of the paper is excellent, and i was impressed with the duration of shipping given that COVID-19 is a problem at the moment. Very happy, thank you!

Wrong item description. The item is not 30 inches in width.

The roll of paper is as advertised and the company has been the best to deal with. They have been honourable in ALL ways! More businesses should be as good as this company!

just what I need for my work at home
