Kraft

Post by Justinorigami »

Hi,
Where could someone living in the US find kraft paper.
This kind: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecilia13101/5509796254/

I know right? :) Those who have access to thin craft are very lucky.
You have the guts to fold ryuzin 2.1? Awesome.

You can find the ordinary brown kind in a postal service (as its used for packaging) or an office supply store. As for the special colored ones in various sizes (up to 1.2m!), I managed to find some in an arts and crafts store. Unfortunately, they tend to be thicker than the ordinary brown kind.
Note: I didn't name any stores as I live in Canada and am not sure if they are the same in the US.

Is the stuff you find in the post office thin?

@ Justinorigami :
Your Papermart reference looks to be quite worthwhile .
Huge supply of a multitude of papers.
I plan to go there in person, so as to better select the weight & texture of several papers.
I'll post a follow up, if and when, I locate a treasure of papers.
Thanks for the tip !
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .

Just as an FYI, the US postal service doesn't sell any kind of wrapping paper, and actually discourages the wrapping of packages that are being shipped. Wrapped packages and sorting machines do not get along well...

Excellent tip about the modulor store.
http://www.modulor.de/shop/oxid.php/sid ... ist/cnid/D

They seem to have an unusually abundant supply of varied colours of kraft, as well as other papers.
Thanks for tip !

The downside is that the shipping costs a lot if you live in America, luckily I'm in Europe \:D/ but I think it's worth ordering from them.

Yeah, I live in America so it costs a bit--I tend to order a bunch of stuff at one time and endure the wait for the economy shipping, which has never let me down...
