Good? Bad? I don't know. Compared to reflex?
Reflex premium is 145.
Reflex recycled is 155.
Reflex ultra white is 165.Not bad at all by comparison!
Do you work for Dunder Mifflin?
Price of paper shot up like all other commodities.
Great price if you are not a business user
Shot up because we don't manufacture any paper onshore anymore (despite being a timber exporter). Sad.
Nevia again !!!
What is the country of origin here?
Wont be Australia. Australia's last white paper pulp mill shut down in 2023. You can google the reasons why.
It got me excited for a second. I thought they had come to their senses and reopen the mill. If forestry/lodging deem an unrenewable industry then so should be career politicians
why don't companies just grow trees on farms to use for paper? how long could it possibly take to grow a tree?
They did. Except some random possums moved into the plantations, so the greenies managed to get the logging stopped! This was land leased from the government too for the sole purpose of platation trees. Seriously….only in Victoria
@Sammyboy: The possum issue was affecting a small area of the plantations and not all of it and was not the sole reason for stopping logging.
Logging and milling costs a lot more than it used to and uses a lot of resources are needed including water and energy to make paper. Both of which are a commodity in Australia and better off going to the public. Plus creating white business paper uses chemicals to bleach it all of which we have to deal with.
Australia still logs and manufactures cardboards and brown packaging materials.
Logging was never a lucrative business and didn't generate as much income for the country or hire many people due to its automation just like mining etc. only a couple of hundred people.
Stopping the mills was such a small impact the most people don't even know we made paper or that anything has changed
@Windows98: The price of a ream paper jumped to $7 over night from about $3.50. It was the last white paper producing mill for the whole of Australia. This is the first time I've seen it this low since the mill was closed. It had a big impact on people wallets, just that most people didn't know the cause of the price jump
@Sammyboy: Exactly. Maryvale was producing white paper, and forced to shut down by an idiot who found that killing whole towns was easier.
Immediately, the imported paper went fro 80GSM to 70GSM and the price skyrocketed.
But apparently it saved some trees@Sammyboy: Prices were not $3.50
Australian made reflex was $5 on special which would suggest standard price would be $6 or higher. So not much difference to now. If prices are higher now, it would be due to regular inflation and corporate greed.
Good quality paper can still be bought outside of Officeworks for cheaper. It's Officeworks that Jack up the prices
Demand for copy paper has been dropping since the internet and even faster with mobile devices. Covid rapidly dropped the need for generic offices to need printers and even businesses that previously were forced to have hard copies like lawyers and medical offices are going to move to DocuSign.

If a business is not viable. They will shut down and blame everyone but themselves to save facr and use the media to spread that message.
Also, no one 'stopped logging" in Australia. It's still legal to do it. Changes in legislation were put into place to protect the environment and the local companies used that as their excuse along with drops in demand to shut down local plants.
Opal (paper mill) themselves admitted that drops in demand and cheaper international alternatives were factors that lead to the decision to shut down.
@Windows98: Well now the white reams of paper are coming from China. Do you really think the Chinese factories are buying their pulp only from verfied companies that are supplying pulp from plantation trees. Of course there are no checks. Some of that pupl will be coming from illegal logging and deforestation of rain forest areas. All that extra carbon generated. Also who know how underpaid those workers are too from the loggers in what ever country its coming from to the factory in China and the conditions they have to work in. These factories tare using energy supplied from coal. Lots and lots of coal. Its then got to be transported to the port and has to be shipped over to Australia. Lots of fossil fuels used in logistics from trucks to ships to get that paper to Australia. Its then got to be transported to warehouses from the port.
So yes you can feel good for the environment for shutting down plantation forests in Australia, but turn a blind eye to where its coming from overseas and the impact it has on the environment from being made overseas. Also 1000s of jobs were lost due to this. Pretty much the whole town of Maryville was impacted.
Hard copy documents are still required in many circumstances such as contracts and loan documents. Most of these are many pages long. My ones recently have been over 50 pages and printed in triplicate. Paper hard copies will be around for a long time
I bet Indonesia
China
I think I remember seeing it being made in China when I was considering paper the other day in store.
Pair it with a crayon special and you have a certified ozbargainer artwork kit.

Great ads!
Coles not only dropped the price to their ATL but it's cheaper than others when comparing the same thing (A4 80GSM 500 Sheet Reem)….. Are my eyes deceiving me? Did hell freeze over?
No, and that's why it's OOS in almost all Coles
OOS in the few Coles around me.
Bonus: If you cut out and frame the slogan from the packaging, you can hang it on the toilet door as an inspirational quote.
Not available online. Cheaper per page than a notebook.
Tried my luck when walking past Coles and saw the guy restocking. Grabbed the whole box of 5 packs. 2025 A4 paper sorted.
Finally sub $5 paper
161 CIE Whiteness for anyone wondering.
