Types of Finishes

• Linen

almost a tablecloth feel, clean, professional, premium stock at nearly the price of standard stock you’ll find elsewhere. Great texture, ink holdout and quality! 

• Laid

similar to linen, but rougher and textured for a truly classic sort of feel

• Columns

toothy, inexpensive fins on a linear finish that really makes an impact

• Smooth

70 lb premium, feels smooth, just like it sounds. Nice and thick

• 25% cotton bond

watermarked paper, often used by law and real estate offices. A little more spendy and worth every penny.

• Natural

available in a variety of colors

• Fiber
