To buy chart paper, you will need to make a few decisions about the type of chart paper you need for your project.
1. Determine the size of the chart paper you need for drawing your project on. Chart paper can be found in the following sizes:
- 8.5” x 11”
- 8.5” x 14”
- 11” x 17”
- 24” x 36”
2. Determine how much chart paper you will need to purchase. Chart paper is sold in loose sheets or as a bound pad. Loose sheets will give the ability to just take one sheet at a time. A bound pad of chart paper will give the ability to keep a project together and not loose individual sheets.
3. Choose a style and color of chart paper. Chart paper is typically sold in white with blue grid lines. If you would like another color or different color grid lines, be sure to ask if it can be special ordered.
4. Find a store or online retailer to purchase your chart paper from. You can also use MerchantCircle’s website, www.merchantcircle.com, to find a local supply store. Visiting a local store will allow you to check the paper out and make sure the quality is what you are looking for.
