Needing to make journal covers with students - is this the thickness of a cereal box?

No, it is not as thick as a cereal box. It's more like a heavier card stock you would use for printing. It's very flexible so it would never stand on its own.

Perhaps slightly thinner than that - it will crease easier than cereal box thickness would. I think it would work for your journal project, though it's not as durable as traditional cardstock would be.

No it is not as thick as a cereal box? I used it to make posters for our school carnival but we laminated all of them when we were finished.

We used regular 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper. I don't know if hard covers are available with this machine. We used clear plastic.

Fairly minimally. I can't get my hands on a ruler, but I'd estimate it around 1/4 inch thicker. - Studio Arts Major

It is thick enough to hide writing on boxes. I am not sure about it folding neatly. I have only used it to cover bulletin boards.

It's not very thick. The thickness is very similar to bubble wrap. We had to double layer it for our use around the house.

yes, works very well, we use them for school projects as well as gaming instructions we print off the web; just keep an eye on the type of binder you get; some of the binders I had on hand were short along the width and the sheet protectors stuck out a bit when the binder was closed.

No, it would not be too thick. In fact it would be ideal for such an application. The paper is thick enough and it is perfectly opaque so that the colors, etc. will not bleed through. I use it to make greeting cards and it is MARVELOUS for that application as well.

Very thin. I'd say less than 1/8". But I'm just guessing. Another way to say is probably a bit thicker than paper.

Fred I am sorry but I can not help.I would suggest taking a twin size sheet and making a cover.if you have any sewing skills. Just a thought.

They are about as thick as cardstock, maybe a little thicker. I would say they are thick enough. Thicker than the cheap papers.

I would say no. Its perfect for covering books and mailing packages. It light enough to be easy to fold and holds tape well

I got the sheets for 4x6 cards. But MUCH cheaper idea is to get plain old sheet protectors ($7.99 for a box of 100) and tape your recipe cards to a sheet of paper and insert. You can get oversize binders and oversize indexes so the tabs will stick out past the pages (at any office supply store.)

The thickness won't collapse on itself. It is a nice thickness. If you buy clear stamps it is similar to what the stamps come on.

I sewed my blanket into box-type covers. It is much heavier material than previously purchased frost covers.

It is approximately 3/8 of an inch thick in total - without the notebook. I would guess each side is about 1/8 or 3/16 of coverage. It is a great cover. The notebook is well protected when inside.

I have only used the 3/4" spines, so I can't say for sure how thick it can handle. With the 3/4" spine I have put together several books of 130 pages, which is 65 sheets of 24lb paper. Some covers are hardcover, some softcover. I know if I had a need for 1" spine it would handle it. I just wish there was an economical cover for a 6x9 book, but unfortunately those are "special order" and are more than I want to pay. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how thick you want, but this is definitely thicker than a regular sheet of paper. I haven't used mine yet, but it seems like foil coated paper or plastic. Its pretty rigid but bendable/foldable. It's definitely thicker than gold leaf, and is a bit thicker than regular printer paper.
