How to Sign "Paper" in American Sign Language (ASL)

In ASL, "paper" is signed by holding both hands flat with palms facing each other, then rubbing them together in a horizontal motion as if feeling the texture of paper between them. The sign shows how paper feels. When talking about different kinds of paper like newspapers or documents, you can change the sign a bit or add other signs to make your meaning clear. This basic hand movement is often used in schools and offices. It's easy to learn because it looks like what you do with real paper.
