Bingo paper comes in various cuts, colors, and shapes. One of the most common forms is called 1on bingo paper .
1on bingo paper is a case paper which comes in packs of 3,000 sheets. Each bingo sheet is a single face or card and is usually the same color. Unlike bingo paper that is a contains multiple bingo faces (for example, 3on bingo cards contain 3 plays), 1on bingo paper only allows for 1 play per sheet, hence the name 1on.
This style of paper is especially common among informal games or family gatherings. This is because of its simple design and ease of use. 1on's consist of a large number of sheets that can be played at any groups' pace. Whether it's a family game or a serious game with novices, everyone should be able to play at least one sheet of 1on bingo paper.
On the other hand, most commercial bingo hall style games won't use 1on paper because serious bingo players found at these locations will generally want to play large numbers of faces per game. These players are used to playing 12, 18, 24, 36, or more faces per game. Therefore, a bingo manager at a commercial hall will usually opt for a larger style of bingo paper sheet to satisfy their players.
If your looking for a slightly larger cut of bingo paper than a 1on, the next larger common cut of bingo paper is a 3V (3 vertical, up and down) or a 3H (3 horizontal, side to side). While 2ons exist, they are pretty unusual and harder to find.
