roll paper stand, to store rolls

[kwy290]

Does any one know if a roll paper stand to store rolls of paper exists? I have tons of rolls of paper in my studio and I want an easy space saving way to store them. Thanks.

It's best to store them on end, as near vertical as possible. Otherwise, the cardboard core will sag if not well supported.

I don't know if they still carry it, but Calumet used to have foam rubber cutouts that mount to the wall in a strip. Each one had 3 or 4 openings for rolls and an adhesive back. Kind of like the foam and plastic holders for fishing rods.

If you've got a long enough bare wall, it adds about six inches of depth to where the wall is at now.

I made my stand with one of those units that you hang shelving on the walls without the shelves. They are adjustable to be spaced for the different diameter rolls. I use dowel rods to hold the rolls. The cores for my Epson paper are too thick to sag. But then I run through paper quite fast. At the bottom I have a couple of shelves for the sheet paper. On the other hand if you are talking about background paper, I use 1" electrical rigid conduit for that.
