Cheap A3 paper?

Ant555

I am looking for a cheap source of A3 paper - we are using more and more (at work) and the cost of it seems quite high compared to A4.

Where do you get yours from?

Its mostly for use in HP laser printers and we are not really that fussed about the gsm/weight - just the cheapest possible.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply but the Amazon link is 4x what I am paying now as i'm currently paying £6ish for 500 sheets and I think that's expensive!

£6 is cheap. Only way to buy any cheaper is in bulk

Impossible to answer unless you say what volume you require. If you buy a tonne at a time then obviously it's vastly cheaper. But buying a single ream or two will cost much more., mainly due to the delivery cost.
The gsm is the weight, and the price is directly proportional to the gsm you specify, since paper is sold by weight.

How much higher? A sheet of A3 is the same amount of paper as 2 sheets of A4, so anything around twice the price seems reasonable (perhaps slightly less allowing for economies of scale and lower packaging and distribution costs).

You forget the matter of quantity - A4 gets produced in enormous volumes, whereas A3 is almost a specialised paper.
Hence A3 costs about 3 to 4 x A4 price, instead of the more logical 2 x.

I bought my a3 copier paper from a company called purrfect office on the internet they are geared towards the lady buyers i think, because their site is quite pink, rather nice actually. can't quite remember how much i paid but they were really helpful and i received it the next day. I checked the prices of A4 and they were cheap too. Although i don't need any A4 quite yet. I hope this is helpful. Oh by the way i paid using my credit card, which i rarely do to be honest but all was good and safe.

£6 a ream? 80gsm? That's almost impossibly cheap.

Are they made from recycled toilet paper? In the Fukushima area?
