Hi,
Where could someone living in the US find kraft paper.

Thanks.

Thank you for making this topic!!! I was actually just gonna post something just like this because I'm trying to find paper for ryujin 2.1 and 3.5... Anyone that can help us find this would be greatly appreciated!!

I know right? Those who have access to thin craft are very lucky.
You have the guts to fold ryuzin 2.1? Awesome.

Is this usable?

You can find the ordinary brown kind in a postal service (as its used for packaging) or an office supply store. As for the special colored ones in various sizes (up to 1.2m!), I managed to find some in an arts and crafts store. Unfortunately, they tend to be thicker than the ordinary brown kind.
Note: I didn't name any stores as I live in Canada and am not sure if they are the same in the US.

Is the stuff you find in the post office thin?

Here are some links I found.

@ Justinorigami :
Your Papermart reference looks to be quite worthwhile .
Huge supply of a multitude of papers.
I plan to go there in person, so as to better select the weight & texture of several papers.
I'll post a follow up, if and when, I locate a treasure of papers.
Thanks for the tip !

Just as an FYI, the US postal service doesn't sell any kind of wrapping paper, and actually discourages the wrapping of packages that are being shipped. Wrapped packages and sorting machines do not get along well...

Origami Shop sells some great Kraft paper: http://www.origami-shop.com/en/paper-or ... 3_227.html

modulor.de is a german store which ships worldwide and sells Kraft. It also sells other papers like Elephant Hyde , Glassine and MC.

Excellent tip about the modulor store.

They seem to have an unusually abundant supply of varied colours of kraft, as well as other papers.
Thanks for tip !

The downside is that the shipping costs a lot if you live in America, luckily I'm in Europe but I think it's worth ordering from them.

Yeah, I live in America so it costs a bit--I tend to order a bunch of stuff at one time and endure the wait for the economy shipping, which has never let me down...
