What type of paper should I use to print out a cover for a Blu Ray case?

Just downloaded the despecialized editions, burned them onto BRay discs, and I have no idea what type of paper I should get as my searches online have left me confused, unable to find anything from sites (or the results show me players/CDs/and cases), or the cost for these types of paper is ridiculously expensive (my guess these are for businesses to buy instead of regular folk).

I usually have Staples print out my covers on Elite Gloss paper. Cost per print is like 50¢.

I don’t remember the last time I went to staples, but will I need to bring a USB that contains the covers I want to use, and print it out there, right?

Probably so mate - though always worth an ask - I find most Staples employees are willing to help and even offer advice, especially for interesting projects like these.

.

If you wanted to do some covers yourself I’d opt for semi-glossy photo paper, or just glossy photo paper for your covers - just remember to adjust the printer settings so it knows it’s printing on glossy paper as opposed to standard quality ‘everyday’ paper.

I find it hand to do a test print in draft settings (or whatever the lowest quality settings of print is on your printer) before trying to print in the high quality ink settings - just to make sure sizes and alignments are all ok.

Good luck with it 😃

You can actually go on their site and upload your covers and print and pay through their site and just go and pick it up. The site feature will allow you to choose the kind of paper to print on but make sure you adjust the image accordingly so it will print out in the right direction.
