kertas kuning atau kertas lap


Explanation:
as far as I know, brown paper is used to wrap something, usually a small parcel or package (in German, it's "Packpapier").

blotting paper is "unglazed absorbent paper used for soaking up excess ink" (Concise Oxford Dictionary) = kertas lap (ref. karyanet)
