Colors, Textures, Heavy Weights oh how we love French Paper!

Once your company celebrates its 141st birthday, you're entitled to legendary status.  At least in American Papermaking.  And  that's exactly the story for French Paper Company another of Mac Papers fine paper mill partners.  Read more about their history here.

The brands/grades we currently represent are: Pop-Tone, Mod-Tone, Glo-Tone, Speckle-Tone, Parch-Tone, Dur-O-Tone, Muscle-Tone, Smart White and Construction.  Back before flecks in your paper were cool, French introduced Speckle-Tone, this and their longstanding collaboration with the brilliant designer Charles S. Anderson are just a few of the reasons I love French papers.


Here are a couple of photos showing the outside covers of current swatchbooks and the amazing array of colors found inside (including a rare shade of orange).  French's swatchbooks are slightly smaller in height than most and most are wire-O bound.

Another thing I like about French is we stock a fair number of their products so even customers in a hurry can often get what they need.  Envelopes are available in a wide assortment and custom textures!  Yes it's true.

For a 2,000 lb manufacturing minimum French will make a custom paper in the textures shown (sorry for the resolution) such as: Burlap, Cordtone, Fabrique, Linen, Broadcloth, Leather and more.  They can match PMS colors and test to make papers with added organic materials.  Just contact your Atlanta Mac Papers rep for current swatch books or more information: (770) 948-9959.
