After purchasing new, I cut a small amount of paper from the white one, but it has been stored unused in a dark place. (At the time of purchase, I was intrigued by the mechanism of cutting the paper with thread, so I just tried cutting some.) The box has scratches, and there is red ink staining on the back. When shipping, it will be wrapped in a plastic bag and placed in an envelope, or shipped directly in a plastic bag without wrapping. If you have any concerns about the packaging, shipping method, or anything else, please contact me before purchasing.
