our letterpress Papers
Crane's Lettra: The standard of cotton letterpress papers. Made domestically at Neenah Paper's mill in Wisconsin, this elegantly textured 100% cotton paper is made from fibers reclaimed from the garment industry. Lettra is tree-free, totally chlorine free, and has a seductive softness that showcases the letterpress impression well.
- Fluorescent White, 110# cover and 220# cover
- Pearl White, 110# cover and 220# cover
- Ecru, 110# cover and 220# cover
Mohawk Loop: We like to think there's no good reason to letterpress on virgin fiber anymore (stay where you are trees!). Mohawk Loop is a great, 100% post consumer waste recycled paper for those looking for a lower price point than a cotton paper. Loop is FSC certified, manufactured with windpower, and made domestically at Mohawk's upstate New York paper mill. If you use this paper, just think of the fun you'll have, marketing your printed pieces as being printed environmentally, and on an environmental paper. Please note that small flecks are visible in paper because of its post consumer origins – we're happy to send you samples.
- White, 160# double-thick cover, smooth finish
- Ivory, 160# double-thick cover, smooth finish
Special Order Papers: We can also print on special order papers. Please contact us for more information!
