Choosing the Right Stock: A Guide to Cotton Papers

Cotton papers are made from fiber, not wood pulp — which is why they feel soft, take a letterpress impression deeply, and age gracefully.

For business cards, 300gsm cotton is the workhorse; 600gsm double-thick stock turns a card into a statement. For invitations, texture matters more than weight.

When in doubt, order a sample pack. Paper is the one part of a design you choose with your hands.
