Typek vs ROTATRIM Office Paper Guide
Typek and ROTATRIM are the two best-known office paper brands in South Africa. Both are trusted for copiers, laser printers and inkjet printers — this guide compares them and shows you the best way to buy each at Bonolo Online.
Typek – South Africa's favourite
Typek is made by Sappi at its Ngodwana mill and has been the country's best-selling office paper for decades. It delivers consistent 80–100gsm quality, bright white appearance (ISO brightness ~96%) and reliable jam-free feeding across copiers, laser and inkjet printers. Typek A4 and A3 are available by the ream (500 sheets) or the box (5 reams) — the box works out cheaper per ream, so it is the smart buy if you print regularly.
ROTATRIM – quality SA office paper
ROTATRIM is a respected South African paper brand offering A4 and A3 office copy paper engineered for smooth, jam-free performance in copiers and printers. It is a great value alternative to Typek with the same 80gsm multipurpose standard — ideal for everyday office printing, forms and internal documents.
Which should you buy?
If your office has standardised on Typek, keep buying Typek — it is the safest choice for high-volume copiers. If you want the same quality at a keener price, ROTATRIM is an excellent drop-in. Either way, buy by the box to save up to 15% versus single reams, and pair your paper with genuine ink and toner from the same delivery.
