We have been using a 36# unbuffered ledger paper from university  products. Phil started buying this over a decade ago when we began our  drawer-lining product. We custom order it cut to our 2 drawer sizes. The catalog  item number I have for it is 9-7411-9. We have a good supply so I have  not had to order any in the last few years.

The paper works fine for us. Our primary goal was to provide a  barrier between out wooden drawers and the specimens. Phil elected to do  this with the paper laid over a piece of plastic sheeting. The paper works  fine though it does not provide much in the way of padding. It has proven a  great benefit to our pest management as the white paper background makes  it easier to spot any pest activity. Luckily we have not had any problems in  that area in a few years.

Andy Johnson did some detective work here when our previous  supplier became no longer available, and he found essentially the same  product: We're now using Reliance blotter paper from Light Impressions (24 X 38  inches, number on box is 413-01-38). Cost per box of 125 sheets at last  order was $289.95.
