Storing computer paper [off-topic]

Sounds silly but I am looking for a good way to store my A4 computer
paper.

I have got several reams of different types of paper. However at any
one time I might need only a few sheets of one type such as high quality
letter paper.

(a) I could store the still-wrapped reams ontop of one another but then
I end up crumpling the sheets when I try and slide them out.

(b) I could put the wrapped reams into stacking letter trays like this

However, after a week or two the paper gets dusty and needs dusting
down. Ugghhh.

(c) I have seen offices use similar trays to (b) but this time they putt
about 50 sheets of paper in each tray. (EG, they would have letterhead
paper, follow-on sheets, plain sheets, etc).

However, I am not using all me paper quite so fast so 50 sheets of a
special type might sit there for ages.

It sounds silly, but what is a good way to store paper?

You can get multi drawer stationery cabinets designed to do exactly this.

Google "multi drawer A4 stationery' .Bisley fo some nice 6 drawer units
for about 80 quid.. or you can go to 12-15 draers at a commesnurtare
height and price.

Each drawer takes a ream or so..

OFTEN to be found in skips and secondhand office clearouts

Or ebay shops..see here?

That's exactly what I use...the Bisley one at about 100 quid.

That is a classic engineers line, one that hasn't a clue how to fix a
printer with a knackered feed system!

If you say so.

The manufacturers of printers would argue otherwise, and my own personal
experience of using damp/dusty paper in both domestic and business
printers would seem to disagree also.

I hear that all the time. They always turn up and then get on the phone
to a friend asking what to do.

You hear it all the time? How many printers do you have, and why are
engineers always turning up?


He's just a troll dude, his job or whatever varies depending on what group
he posts in. He also claims to sell car parts sometimes... Just ignore
him, he really has nothing better to do with his 'life'.

OMFG, when did they let you out! Store paper in a warm room where
it isn't damp. Put them any way you like and only open one packet
at a time. Was it a trick question or are you trying to advertise
a product?


I am the OP. I guess it's a trick question if you don't read it
properly! :-)

Check once again about why more than one needs to be open at the same
time.

Are you serious about "any way" because that would include standing the
ream on its long or short edge.

Are you trolling with such answers?

the way we do it here is to put the papers in a lightbox, the heat from
the bulb keeps the papers crisp and damp free all year long, but if
power costs are exhorbitant where you live, do the storage like 6 hours
everyday and when you're working, not when the power should be off.

After all the suggestions (thank you) the winner is something like

Yup, different to what I had been thinking but actually quite
effective.

Yes, after all that, it was a silly question.
