Neenah Astrobrights Colored Paper & Cardstock Review


Wow!  Would you take a look at those bright colors!!  These  Neenah Astrobrights  paper & cardstock are definitely BRIGHT!  

As a teacher, I go through a tremendous amount of paper throughout the year.  I always print my weekly newsletter on colored paper…in hopes of catching the attention of parents.  I must say though that I’m really excited to use these amazingly bright sheets of paper!!!!   Surely they won't miss these!  

The quality of this colored paper is an added  bonus!  My little first graders get so excited when I give them colored paper to work on one of their projects.  As a matter of fact, yesterday we celebrated “Orange You Glad You Can Read” Day…and everything was printed on this orange paper!  You could feel the excited when I handed out my papers!  J 
This Neenah colored paper comes in a package of 500 sheets, and measures 8 ½ x 11, with a weight of 24 lbs.  It can be used in inkjet printers, laser printers or copiers!  Now... are you ready for what they are called?
LIFT-OFF LEMON
PULSAR PINK
MARTIAN GREEN
COSMIC ORANGE
VULCAN GREEN

The colored cardstock is available in a package of 250, paper size of 8 ½ x 11, and a nice heavy weight of 65 lbs.  They guarantee that it work in laser and inkjet printers...  and it worked perfectly for me!.  As you can see from the picture above, this cardstock has a bright selection of colors.  I just have to share with you the names of these colors too:
COSMIC ORANGE
SOLAR YELLOW
TERRA GREEN
VENUS VIOLET
FIREBALL FUCHSIA


Last week, I used this heavy cardstock to make a few centers for my classroom.   It printed beautifully and they (the centers & the bright colors) were a huge hit with my students!!!  
If you find yourself in the market  for office supplies, please at a look at Shoplet.com.  While you are checking out their websites, make you also look at their nice selection of promotional products, medical supplies and office stationary.
