Overall winner: Strathmore Assorted Color Pastel Paper Pad 18x24 – 24 Sheets
Key Differences
Strathmore Color Pastel Paper Pad is a textured, glue-bound 18x24 pad (24 sheets) designed for pastel work and is described as acid-free 80 lb / 118 gsm; it typically sits at a more affordable price point and has a much larger review sample (4.70 from 8,509 reviews). The Paper Factory Glassine Roll is an acid-free 24x150 ft protective glassine with neutral pH for dust, abrasion, grease and moisture resistance, better suited for protective wrapping and long-term protection rather than direct pastel drawing
