Southworth100% Cotton Résumé Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", 32 Lb, 100% Recycled, White, Pack Of 100

Love the thickness and texture of this paper BUT be aware that this kind of paper absorbs your ink (it's thick, cotton, not glossy)- not unique to this brand, it's just that kind of paper. This is nice and thick, durable, printer-friendly, doesn't smear. Your colors won't look as bright on this type of paper so more muted colors are better.

Nice heavy paper. Compatible with the print shop's inks

This is a good resume paper. I love the thickness.

As someone that used to oversee printed marketing materials, I have experience with how the quality of paper presentations can make or break someone's impression of you. You want something of substantial feel—without overspending.The things I like about this resume paper are:• 32 lb weight, means it's thicker than regular paper, but not overwhelmingly thick like cover stock paper.• Watermark on it gives it very subtle character.​• Classic white color.• The texture stands out against plain paper.• You can print this on inkjet or a laser printer and it will look great.This is resume paper that is of exceptional quality. Only the best resumes will do for this paper. Recommended.

I was very impressed with the quality of the paper. When it is on the expensive side for paper, the quality is good and looks very professional, which is worth the investment. Previous commenters had mentioned the watermark being too obvious, but I thought it was actually relatively subtle- it was obvious it was there but looked nice and wasn't overwhelming. The paper has a nice weight to it- obviously better than cheap printer paper but not to the point of cardstock, just enough to be noticeably nicer. The only caveat I noticed was that it was difficult to write on with a gel pen, due to the fact that there is some texture to it.

Job hunting is hard enough, so when you get the chance to hand a physical resume to a person, you want to make sure it makes an impact. I used the 32lb paper at a job fair and could land a job. Thrilled with the quality.

The paper has a luxurious feel and a subtle texture that exudes professionalism. At 24 lb. weight, it provides a sturdy and substantial feel without being overly heavy, making it perfect for resumes and formal correspondence.​The white color enhances the readability of printed text; however, it is a tad darker than stark white, making the paper seem more professional / higher-end. The paper handles ink exceptionally well, with no smudging or bleeding. The paper feeds smoothly through my inkjet printer.​

I tear in half to achieve a half-page size. Holds up to my fountain pens and a great cheat for costly stationery.
