How Do I Choose?


Working with paper vendors has been an enlightening experience for me. I get showered with samples and have the daunting task of choosing what material will work best for each job we send to the printer. For our compare and contrast show and tell, I chose a paper swatch book containing "paper with personality" from the Neenah Paper Company. They prides themselves on providing the client with distinctive, classic options, adding a personal warmth to communication. It begins to get a bit overwhelming when you start to compare the different colors, weights, and textures, but I like learning about the available options. Small differences in finish or texture can make a huge difference to the overall look and feel of your piece. If anyone is interested in taking a look at any sample books, I have plenty!!!
