Tru-Ray Construction Paper - 9" x 12" (50 Sheets)

Bright colors, stronger paper, and endless possibilities! Turn everyday craft time into something extraordinary with Tru-Ray Construction Paper - 9" x 12" (50 Sheets)! This premium heavyweight construction paper is made for colorful projects that involve cutting, folding, curling, gluing, and creative decorating. Unlike ordinary construction paper that can crack along folds or fade over time, Tru-Ray features strong sulphite fibers and fade-resistant colors that help handmade creations look their best. From colorful paper flowers and classroom collages to greeting cards, seasonal decorations, and imaginative paper sculptures, this versatile art supply brings creativity to schools, after-school programs, summer camps, recreation centers, and family craft tables.

Stronger Paper, Brighter Colors & Bigger Creative Ideas!

Not all construction paper is created equal! Tru-Ray Construction Paper is designed for artists, teachers, and activity leaders who need dependable paper that can handle more than simple coloring. Its heavyweight, 100% vat-dyed sulphite construction features longer, stronger fibers that help the sheets withstand folding, scoring, and curling without easily cracking or tearing.

That extra durability makes a difference when children move beyond flat artwork. Paper chains, folded decorations, woven designs, layered collages, and three-dimensional creations all benefit from a sturdy material that holds up during hands-on crafting.

The paper's smooth texture provides a versatile surface for drawing with crayons, markers, and colored pencils. Children can sketch pictures, add colorful patterns, decorate paper cutouts, and combine multiple sheets into larger projects.

One of Tru-Ray's standout features is its fade-resistant color. The vat-dyed manufacturing process helps colors remain brighter over time, making this paper especially useful for bulletin boards, classroom displays, seasonal decorations, and artwork that will remain on display.

The acid-free paper is also a practical choice for projects intended to be kept or displayed. Whether students are creating a classroom mural or families are saving a handmade keepsake, the paper provides a colorful foundation for memorable creations.

Each pack contains 50 sheets measuring 9 inches by 12 inches in 10 assorted colors: black, blue, brown, green, orange, pink, red, purple, white, and yellow. The assortment gives artists a convenient starting palette for everything from colorful landscapes and animal crafts to holiday projects and decorative paper designs.

For schools and group programs, the standard sheet size is easy to organize and distribute. Teachers can provide full sheets for drawing activities or prepare precut shapes for younger participants. Older children can experiment with paper engineering, weaving, symmetry, and layered compositions.

Whether you're planning an everyday art lesson, organizing a seasonal craft station, or preparing a large classroom display, Tru-Ray Construction Paper offers the strength, color, and versatility to help every creative idea take shape.
