Natural Paper (Parchtone, Text Weight)

Did not match the swatchbook sample

The paper stock we received did not match our expectations based on the Parchtone Swatchbook. While the color and finish were ok, the sheet itself felt noticeably thinner, less rigid, and less opaque than expected for an 80 lb text-weight stock. There was much more show-through than we were anticipated. For our intended use, the stock was disappointing and ultimately not a good fit for the project.

Good so far, I am trying new stock. The freight for my two orders was extremely expensive. Even a flat rate USPS box would be less.

Fantastic purchase. The paper is the right texture shade and size. Color and type is high quality. The packaging and shipping is the best part. Pretty quick and it was packaged flat with cardboard sheets to keep it flat and secure. Cutting the tape doesn't cut the paper. No rolled tubes or bent bags here. Smallest detail to note is the first page has a sticker that indicates the type of paper and it wastes a sheet for me. It would be better if it were attached to the cardboard backing or the plastic sheet instead. Perhaps a small card would be better if it's just to indicate which product it is. Overall I'm happy with it and looking forward to buying more in the future.
