We offer most of the arqadia conservation range. We buy hayseed, black, pale ivory, Snow White and alpine white (like cream) in 25's, imperial blue, dawn grey, lavender, green and a couple of others in 5's and then the odd sheet of any others as required.

Just stocking one manufacturers is easier, and only stocking conservation grade saves on explanations. Buying in 25's saves money if you have the storage space.

We also use the best sellers to avoid paying postage when we need to do a small order of arqadia moulding.

I don't think any of arqadia's dark colours are conservation, something to do with blue wool scales, this is of course according to the FATG.

I mostly use the 'key' acid free range from simons, good value if you order at least 40 sheets, even mixed colours. Seems to suit most people.

You're correct, and I've been misinformed! The range is all acid free, but not all conservation. I'll have to mark up my chevrons tomorrow.
