butcher paper & paper rolls for every classroom

Traditional butcher paper is an economical, versatile material made from paper stock, ideal for drawing, painting, collage projects, desk covers, and wrapping.

Explore options including roll widths of 18", 24", 36", and 48", with lengths ranging from 12' to 1000'. For standard bulletin boards, 48" width by 50' or 100' length provides ample coverage and fewer seams.

Yes, most paper rolls are designed for multiple media. Dual-surface paper rolls feature a smooth side for markers, finger painting, and fine-line drawing, plus a textured side that handles tempera, watercolors, and acrylic paint. Traditional butcher paper works well with markers, crayons, pencils, chalk, and some paints.

Colorations Prima-Color® Fade-Resistant Paper is printed with UV protective ink and has been tested to resist fading for extended display periods.

The assortment includes solid color rolls in red, blue, yellow, pink, lime, teal, ultra purple, and white, as well as patterned designs like black-and-white stripes, confetti, burlap, chalkboard, clouds, and white wood.

Write-on/wipe-off rolls allow you to update bulletin boards, anchor charts, and interactive displays without replacing the entire backdrop. Use dry-erase markers to add labels, student names, vocabulary words, or interactive prompts directly on the surface, then wipe clean and reuse for the next unit or activity.

Younger learners benefit from large-format paper for tracing body outlines, collaborative murals, sensory table covers, and kindergarten readiness activities.

Layering different materials, such as a fade-resistant colored base with a write-on/wipe-off fabric overlay or combining patterned and solid rolls, adds dimension and visual interest to bulletin boards.
