yes if it is not in half, but if you you mean in half, then:
A normal piece of paper, no. The width becomes to thick and the length too small. But here are some websites where they get a huge piece of paper so the length doesn't become too small, and they can do it 11 or 12 times:

When you fold a piece of paper 7 times and then crush it with a hydraulic press, the paper will likely break or tear due to the immense pressure applied by the press. Folding the paper multiple times weakens its structure, making it more susceptible to damage when crushed.
The problem is that after the seventh fold you're dealing with a wad of paper that's a) small and b) thick ... 256 sheets thick, which means making that 8th fold is probably going to require a hydraulic press.
In theory, paper can be folded in half more than 7 times, but it becomes increasingly difficult as the number of folds increases. The thickness of the paper and its size are limiting factors that make it practically impossible to fold a standard piece of paper more than 7-8 times.
Oh, dude, the world record for folding a paper in half is like 12 times. Yeah, that's right, 12! I mean, who has time to fold a piece of paper more than that anyway? It's not like we're trying to set a record here, right?
It is hard to explain, but it basically amounts to the size to fold ratio. A large enough, thin enough, sheet of paper can be folded more than eight times, but it has to be the size of a football field in order to do it. 128 layers of paper is a lot to fold in half to get to 256!
No, a piece of square dry paper cannot be folded in half more than seven times due to the exponential increase in thickness and decrease in surface area with each fold. Each fold doubles the thickness of the paper, making it increasingly difficult to fold further. In practice, most people find that they can only fold a standard piece of paper about 6 to 7 times.
Yes. You can. If you fold it, turn 90 degrees and fold it again. I saw it on myth busters. They folded a paper the size of a football field 11 times. with the help from NASA. But with a regular 11x8 paper, i don't think it is possible.
You can fold a sheet of notebook paper 6 or 7 times but no more.♥adrianna Nicole lockwood wrote this♥
7-8 times
You can. The present record is 12 times
In half each time, is very unlikely.

It's physically impossible to fold a piece of paper more than 7 times.

Well, darling, technically you can't fold a piece of paper more than 7-8 times, unless you're a magician or have biceps of steel. The thickness of the paper increases with each fold, making it harder to bend. So, unless you're looking to break a sweat and potentially break the laws of physics, stick to a maximum of 7-8 folds.

yes it is. Britney Gallivan folded it 12 times in 2002 after coming up with an exact limiting equation.
