Paper Links

You can contact the paper companies directly for samples, bu it's usually easier [and quicker for shipping] to go directly to their local Atlanta distributors.

NOTE: when you call you must have the exact specs of the paper you're requesting including the brand, line, paper weight sheet size,* finish, the specific PROJECT info and your company or freelancer address, which should not be a dorm.

Example request: Neenah Classic Crest 80-pound cover [weight] super smooth [finish] in both Tarragon and Saw Grass [colors]

note:
80# cover
is standard weight for biz cards, whereas 24# text is standard for letterhead.

* typically you are allowed to request (10) 11 x 17 sheets and (20) 8.5 x 11 of a specific sheet and color, so you could request 2-3 colors and 10 or each, for example. I suggest not to ask for more than two lines and 2-3 colors each per request.

Order this asap if you want to get it in time [and not pay for expedited shipping.]
