100% Cotton Paper
We source our 100% cotton paper from the oldest paper mill in the world, Fabriano in Italy. Beloved by artistic masters Michelangelo and Beethoven, our paper has unique deckled edges and an impressive weight to help your correspondence make a lasting impression.
Printed with Soy Ink
In combination with letterpress, we utilize soy-based metallic inks to provide deep, rich colors that are friendlier to the environment.
