The Torah was and is written on parchment scrolls.
There are three types of specially processed animal skin or parchment: gevil, Klaf, and duchsustos. These are Hebrew words to describe different types of parchment, although the term duchsustos is Greek. These are used for the production of a mezuzah, megillah, tefillin, and/or a Sefer Torah ("Torah scroll"). A kosher Sefer Torah should be written on gevil. If klaf is used in place of gevil, the Sefer Torah is still kosher, but this should not be done at the outset (bedieved). A Sefer Torah written on duchsustos is not kosher. After preparation, the scribe must mark out the parchment using the sargel ("ruler") ensuring the guidelines are straight. Only the top guide is done and the letters suspended from it. The use of gevil and certain types of parchment has allowed some sifrei Torah of antiquity to survive intact for over 800 years.
