French Paper has the ability to produce paper & cardstock in rich colors, nuanced textures, and a variety of weights and sizes.
Odds are, if you can dream it, we can make it.
The size of our mill allows us to be lean, efficient, and competitive. Our expert technology and paper makers can not be beat.
Take your pick of our recycled, acid free, lignin free, soy ink compatible, FSC® certified, post-consumer waste, hemp, and virgin fibers for your product.
Want a little something extra included? French can make paper with visual or textural additives. We've made paper with coffee, wine grapes, grass clippings, shredded currency, and glitter. Your idea could be next.
It's no secret that we love color. Our color chemist makes an art of matching every possible tone or hue that you could dream of.
Unlike stock papers, which are manufactured to meet many possible needs, there’s no wasted paper on the cutting room floor when we tailor a paper order to your perfect fit.
We can produce paper to the width you desire - by shipping full rolls or sheets we can save you time and money.
Our on-site hydropowered generators are used for every paper that we make - including custom orders. Which means you can rest easy knowing that your project was made with the smallest carbon footprint in the industry.
The weights commonly used in the paper industry do not always meet the needs of an unusual job. We can create ultra-thin sheets for weight-sensitive projects or super-thick boards for packaging, customized to your budget.
We offer many unique & distinctive paper finishes. Whether visible to the eye or only perceived by touch, each pattern brings depth to your project.
embossing, end use specifications, envelopes, duplexing, corrugation
