Buying paper in Chungmuro, Seoul





Chungmuro is another place in Seoul where printers and paper sellers are plentiful.
At paper sellers you can select any paper from a choice of hundreds of different kinds of qualities, colours and weights they have in stock, order small quantities and have it cut to the size you want.

Buying paper in Seoul's Bangsan Shijang

On a few square miles you find all businesses related to paper, printing, packaging and stationary.. definitely our favourite place in Seoul.

We have spotted a seller of used paper bags of cattle feed. We bought 75 kilos of bags, which we will use for a future screen printing project. The bags costed us 35 euros.
In a neighbouring street we found someone who cut the bags to the desired size and pack into 3 cartons for 6 euros.

A delivery man brought our 3 parcels to the post office for 3 euros and it costed us 120 euros to ship the 3 boxes by boat to Ireland, which will take 2 months.
