If fabric could be used, instead of paper, check out a theatrical
supplier like Rosebrand. They carry extra wide canvas (approximately
33' wide) and extra wide muslin (approximately 39')

As a one-time graduate student in the pulp and paper engineering field,
I would recommend that you contact a paper mill directly. I'm not sure
where you're located so I can't give you the name of a specific mill.
Start by contacting TAPPI, Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper
Industry (http://www.tappi.org/index.asp?pid=16116&ch=11). You might
also contact one of the universities with this area of study - Miami
University in Ohio, Georgia Institute of Technology, North Carolina
State University to name a few.

http://dmoz.org/Science/Technology/Chemical_Engineering/Pulp_and_Paper/.
You might have a challenge finding this size paper. At the time I was in
my program, I don't think that paper of this width couldn't be run on
the line. I'm guessing you might have to get your stock in sections.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a source where I could buy paper
of extremely large dimensions? As large as 30 feet by
20 feet? Card stock: thick enough to withstead people
treading on it. This is for an exhibit prototype.
Thanks,
Nicolai
