Hammermill Colored Paper Assortment – Canary, Blue, Pink (8.5 x 11) vs Astrobrights Mega Collection Purple Cardstock 320 Sheets
Overall winner: Hammermill Colored Paper Assortment – Canary, Blue, Pink (8.5 x 11)
Key Differences
Hammermill A offers a much larger total sheet count (1,500 sheets) and is positioned at a lower listed price tier; it’s a lightweight colored paper that customers note prints well but some report thinness and occasional package rips. Astrobrights B is a heavier 65 lb (176 gsm) cardstock in a single vibrant purple with 320 sheets per collection, giving greater durability but less color variety and fewer sheets overall
