For Chip Bag Making:
- 120gsm Double Sided Photo Paper
- Double Sided Tape 10/12mm for top seal
- Glue Tape Roller for bottom & side seal
- Paper Crimper for small & big chip bags (We recommend this brand and size as it provides a comfortable grip compared to others.)
- Pinking Shears/Zigzag Scissors 5mm (We prefer rubber handle type for the same reason mentioned above.)
For Notepads and Booklets:
- Bond Paper Hard Copy or Paperone Brand 70-100gsm depending on your project. These paper brands may cost more than other brands but we can vouch for their quality and paper brightness. This is my go-to shop since they carry both brands.
- Cover Page 200-250gsm Photo Paper No Back Print. For most regular inkjet printers, paper thickness is only up to 160-180gsm Photo Paper.
- Long Arm Stapler.
- For Business Forms & Non-BIR receipts: Carbonless Paper (Top, Middle, Bottom). This is my trusted brand and this shop is the Official Distributor of this product.
For Stapled Notebooks (staple binding):
For Commercial Calendar:
- Hard Copy Bond Paper 70gsm. Here is my go-to shop.
