Frequently Asked Questions: Computer Paper

What size is computer paper?

In the United States, the size of “computer paper” is generally ubiquitous with 8.5 x 11-inch “letter” size paper. This is the default size for most word processors, printable PDF forms, homework assignments, flyers, and business documents.

When referring to computer paper size, most are talking about continuous-feed paper, also known as “fanfold” paper. All sheets in the box are connected, with easy-to-tear page perforations that create 8.5 x 11-inch detached sheet sizes. These are used for printing long strings of data, continuous reports, databases, and so forth, allowing everything to be kept within one document but folded into a convenient letter-sized stack.

Copy and multipurpose paper, another type of computer paper popular for student, home, and small business use, will generally be available in 8.5 x 11-inch. This type of paper will fit in the trays of most standard inkjet printers or laser printers.

What is carbonless paper, and is it available at Sam’s Club?

Yes, Sam’s Club offers a selection of carbonless paper to suit your multi-copy needs. Carbonless paper, sometimes labeled as “NCR” (No Carbon Required) paper, is the modern version of carbon paper, which was historically used to create multiple copies of a document by transferring carbon deposits to underlying pages while writing firmly or typing on the original top copy.

Instead of using carbon-impregnated sheets to create duplicate or triplicate copies, NCR paper uses a chemical reaction within the paper's coating that’s activated with pressure from a printer head. This method creates sharper, more legible copies with less of a mess than the older carbon paper and without the need to press down so hard on the top sheet. It comes in handy for producing instant copies of receipts, delivery documents, handwritten invoices, business forms, and more.

Keep in mind that carbonless paper may not be compatible with most standard inkjet printers or laser printers. Check the User Manual on your respective printer to verify compatibility.

Are there bulk purchasing options for your computer and carbonless paper products?

Yes, Sam’s Club offers computer paper and carbonless paper products in bulk. Copy paper, carbonless paper, and computer printout paper are all typically available by the case. You can find many other types of office supplies at Sam’s Club, including printer ink, general office supplies, and scanners.

What is the return or exchange policy for computer paper?

Computer printer paper sold by Sam’s Club is usually returnable under the “100% Merchandise Satisfaction Guarantee.” If you’re not satisfied with the paper purchased online or in a store, you can typically return it for a refund or replacement.
