French Paper created the Speckletone collection in 1955. The first-ever recycled sheet with natural flecks and shives, designed to inspire creativity and spark conversations between designers and their clients. Decades later, Speckletone is still the industry’s gold standard. While others have tried to imitate its rugged, organic charm, they can’t replicate the authentic small-town USA craftsmanship behind every sheet.
Speckletone isn’t just beautiful – it’s built for versatility. Its rich, tactile surface makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of mediums, from packaging and business cards to letterpress invitations, posters, and eco-conscious brand collateral. The subtle speckling gives every piece an earthy, premium feel that catches the eye without overpowering your design.
Each sheet is crafted with 100% recycled fibers, making it an environmentally responsible option without sacrificing performance. Designers love Speckletone because it prints beautifully across different techniques: digital, offset, letterpress, or silkscreen. It elevates even the simplest projects into something memorable.
Available in text and cover weights, as well as matching envelopes, Speckletone brings natural texture and timeless character to any project that deserves to stand out.
