Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase plain white A4 printer paper with a perforation down the middle (so it tears easily into two A5 pieces)?

An indirect answer, but if there's not too many pages to do you can also DIY it with a perforation cutter and a ruler.

Thanks, but we'd be looking at more like 100 reams.

Unfortunately not. Specific use case requires A4 to be torn in half.

If you plan on putting them thru a laser printer this is very problematic for them pulling apart if its not done right.

If you are looking at 100 reams then it will be far cheaper to get a print shop to do this for you.

For the number of pages you want to print, get (search for) a laser printer with a laser perforating attachment.

No idea if they would ship.

 

 

It appears that they do, but you need to contact them.

This. Time is money and a print shop has the gear to do the printing fast and perforate the paper. 50,000 pages is a big job and would best be done with commercial grade printers and paper handing machinery.
