Colorations Dual Surface Paper Roll, Dark Blue 36in x 305 m — smooth & textured, acid-free

Colorations Dark Blue Dual Surface Paper Roll is a 36" x 1000' crafting paper with a smooth side for markers and a textured side for paint, offering a long-lasting, recyclable surface for classroom and creative projects.

This continuous paper roll from Colorations is built for art rooms, bulletin boards, event backdrops and large-format crafts. One side is finished smooth to accept ink, markers and fine-line drawing, while the opposite face has a toothy texture that holds tempera, watercolour and acrylic applications. The roll is acid-free for better colour stability, recyclable for eco-conscious settings, and manufactured in the U.S., making it practical for schools, studios and community centres that need a reliable, multi-use paper supply.

How does the two-sided surface help in different projects?

The dual finishes let you choose the best surface for each medium without switching materials. Use the smooth side for crisp marker work and detailed sketches; flip to the textured side for paint techniques that need more absorbency and grip.

• Smooth face: ideal for markers, pens and line-art.
• Textured face: holds tempera, watercolour and light acrylic washes.
• Two-sided use reduces waste and stretches supply life.

Is this paper durable enough for classroom and display use?

Yes — the paper is designed for repeated handling during projects and for mounting on walls or bulletin boards. Its weight and finish support both wet and dry media when used with appropriate techniques, producing pieces that resist quick fading thanks to the acid-free formulation.

• Acid-free composition helps preserve pigments and prevent yellowing.
• Robust roll length (1000') covers multiple displays and activities.
• Works with staples, tape and standard classroom mounting methods.

How does the size and format make planning easier?

The 36" width offers broad coverage for murals, table covers and stage backdrops while the continuous 1000-foot length reduces the need for frequent reorders. The roll format allows you to cut custom lengths for projects of any scale, from single-sheet crafts to multi-panel installations.

• 36" wide for life-size projects and wide-format displays.
• 1000' length minimizes waste and restocking frequency.
• Easily trimmed with scissors, rotary cutters or paper trimmers.

What makes this a responsible choice for schools and studios?

The roll is recyclable and produced in the United States, supporting local manufacturing and easier recycling programs. Its design reduces the need for multiple paper types, helping simplify purchasing and lower classroom clutter.

• Made in USA to support local supply chains.
• Recyclable material aligns with school sustainability efforts.
• Dual-surface design reduces overall paper consumption.
