I'm looking to buy 20,000 sheets of 5x5cm paper in a single colour.
Theres lots of 1000sheet packs for cranes but i cant find any in a single colour.

Anyone here help?

5cm.....that's pretty small. Your best bet in that case is to find paper that is 10 cm or 100mm and just cut it into 4's. It might take a little effort on your part but then you can buy a pack of 1k 10 cm papers and end up with 4k 5cm papers.

True. I'm currently experimenting with cutting up 15cm² paper and its not too bad. Id still need 2150 sheets of single colour 15cm².

Random Thoughts... in the US ... :

Contact PassionOrigami, Origamido, and Kimscrane for recommendations.

Contact the name on the package for 1000 sheets, most can accommodate a large order, like you're asking for.

Kinkos, Hobby Lobby, Office Depot, OfficeMax, Staples may be able to help.... but cutting Perfect Squares is not guaranteed.

I have some paper from Greenbrier International, Inc., from Yasutomo, from Aitoh, from Komo, from http://www.kidstoyo.co.jp .

I have some paper from McLaughlin Paper Co., and Sullivan Paper Co.

.... no guarantees ... but one of these may be able to help.

go to a print firm and explain what you want, they have machines to cut them up nicely and in most cases it's not very expensive.
