It's £5.99 for 250 sheets at staples

We have a standard 1/4 A4 size invoice for domestic customers but all major commercial invoicing is via email.

I used to run a printing company, and did all of my invoices on the lowest quality paper i could - something like rapid recycled at 80gsm, or xerox bulk paper. The point for me was that if you are invoicing them they have already used your service - and they should know that your work is quality. Tesco do a box of 75gsm £12 for 2500 sheets (.5p per inv)

If you want better quality paper though I would suggest cream laid certificate paper (100gsm) around 8p per sheet (at currys for example), which look great when printed on...

Hope this helps,

David

I think I now E-mail about 90% of my invoices. As mentioned, whilst invoicing your not trying to grab the work!! So not really needed.
