paper rolls

Cylindrical paper bundles

Paper rolls are continuous sheets of paper wound around a central core, used in applications from cash registers and receipt printers to adding machines and fax machines.

The term also covers larger industrial rolls for printing presses or toilet paper manufacturing.

In craft contexts, paper rolls often means the empty cardboard tubes left after the paper is used: The kids made binoculars from paper rolls.
