Swatch-books of all papers we offer are available.
A swatch-book is a small booklet of papers available within a line of papers provided by a Paper Mill (such as Neenah Paper Inc., Mohawk Fine Papers Inc., and Wausau Paper Inc.).
We offer papers by these manufacturers because they have demonstrated their intent to create a sustainable planet for future generations through offering 100% post consumer recycled waste papers, certified processed chlorine free papers, FSC-Certified papers, papers produced with energy derived from wind power or Green-E renewable power, or, a combination of the foregoing attributes.
Any purchase of sample swatch-books will be refunded and applied to your purchase, if your purchase is made within 21 days of your swatch-book purchase.
