Paper Choices

Over the years, our clients have presented various scenarios to us describing the job they would like to print, asking us to recommend some paper options — for instance, a nice paper that may be a little more costly or an adequate paper that would be a little more cost-effective. Also, many clients are looking for “greener” alternatives and want to know more recycled content.

We have outlined below some paper options that may help in your decision-making process. You will see that we have organized the information under the categories of Uncoated, Coated, and Miscellaneous . Most have matching envelopes available. Many are available in both text & cover weights.

Please Note:
The availability of items in a product line or sometimes the entire product line varies day to day. So this outline is intended to be a guide and starting point for discussion. We are happy to work closely with you to investigate and select a paper that will optimize the quality of your final product while still meeting your budget and other requirements. Please contact us to discuss availability and options.
