Double A vs PaperOne vs Hard Copy: Choosing the Right Bond Paper for Bulk Purchasing

Double A, PaperOne and Hard Copy are three of the most requested bond paper brands in the Philippines. All three have published wholesale prices: Double A is on our premium price list (₱625 per box for 80 GSM A4), while PaperOne and Hard Copy are on the standard list (₱620). The difference is small, so the choice mostly comes down to how you'll use the paper.

Double A

Double A is positioned as a premium copy paper and is internationally recognised. Buyers often choose it for client-facing documents, proposals and printers where consistent feeding matters. See Double A bond paper.

PaperOne

PaperOne is a widely distributed office paper used as a standard sheet by many companies. It is a balanced choice for everyday business printing across laser and inkjet devices. See PaperOne bond paper.

Hard Copy

Hard Copy is a familiar name in Philippine offices and schools and is frequently requested by resellers because customers ask for it by name. See Hard Copy bond paper.

How to choose

• For client and executive documents: many buyers prefer Double A or PaperOne in 80 GSM.
• For resale: stock the brands your customers ask for. Hard Copy and Double A are common requests.
• For mixed use: split your order, using one brand for external documents and another for internal volume.

Test before you commit

Every printer fleet behaves differently. If you're switching brands for a large contract, start with a standard lot and test it on your busiest machines.
