FAQs about paper

While it's possible that the cost of paper might increase just before school starts or that calendars will be a little more expensive in December, for the most part, the price of paper doesn't change based on the season.

Like with most things, buying printer paper in bulk will decrease the price. Buying one package of printer paper might cost less than $5, making spending $20 on a large box seem high. However, you'll want to consider how long the paper might last and the projects that you'll be able to complete using the paper.
