Looking for a paper recommendation for cupcake boxs and such

[lewench]

Does anyone have a good recommendation the best paper to print DIY Printable Templates for Cupcakes, box's and candy wrappers? I have to believe that you want a heavier paper than regular letter.

Also, would it be preferable to print on a ink jet or laser jet?

Thanks in advance

The boxes I've made were using Epson Premium Presentation Paper MATTE and for candy wrappers I've used regular paper since they have to be fairly flexible to bend around candy. As for printers I have an ink jet and no experience with laser jets. I hope that helps!

Welcome to SSD!!!

I use presentation paper, too... but a different brand - my office store was out of Espon the last time I stocked up.

I have used both ink jet and laser... I prefer the laser for large print jobs (cost factor) and that is what I used for the cupcake boxes I made.
