Hi friends.

I've been using the cotton+flax paper from Hook for paper cases.

I'm wondering what others of you like.

Thanks.

Stay well.

Karen--

This might be an eccentric option, but since it is hard/impossible to find longer fibered conventional paper for cases, I have used amate and liked it well. I would call this product a pseudo-paper ( we can argue that point), and I am not certain of its chemical stability (though I have seen many older examples in collections).

Give it a try. https://hiromipaper.com/products/amate-paper-large
