A bitcoin paper wallet is just the bitcoin private key printed on a piece of paper. Although paper is one particular medium of holding the private key there are other companies that have incorporated them into physical coins, such as Casascius. As long as the paper wallet is secure, your holding is secure. But, therein lies the relative lack of security. Someone could find your holding place, take your printout, spend all the bitcoin associated with those keys, and return the paper, however, a bitcoin paper wallet is considered an extremely secure way to keep bitcoin safe from cyber-attacks, malware etc.
