If you are like me and cherish the written word, the tactile pleasure of stationery is undeniable. When I’m writing a friend or family member on my favorite stationery, that curving line of ink speaks volumes. And what truly sets stationery apart is paper thickness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stationery paper thickness is like the rhythm in a song; it adds depth and character to your message. It’s the bass line to your prose. Let’s delve into why stationery paper thickness matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Single-thick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Subtle Power of Thin Paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thin stationery paper — such as the single-thick paper we use for our letter sheets<\/a> — has an elegance that can’t be denied. Like the whisper of a secret between friends, it invites a close, intimate connection between the writer and the recipient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper acquiesces to the pen’s pressure, accommodating each nuance of the writer’s emotion. Its lightweight nature is a symbol of vulnerability, a willingness to expose one’s innermost thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you want to write a long letter with multiple pages, reach for thin paper. We make our letter sheets from 100 lb. text weight paper. It’s a smooth paper with the proper thickness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Double-thick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Weighty Presence of Thick Paper<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other end of the spectrum, thick stationery paper is the Rolex watch of the stationery world. It’s substantial and unapologetic. When you choose thick paper, you’re making a statement. You’re saying, “This message is important. It deserves to be felt as much as read.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the choice for formal invitations, job interview thank you notes, and anything you want to leave an enduring impression with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At EG, we use triple-thick paper to craft our correspondence cards<\/a>. It’s a 140 lb. cover weight, which is thick, robust, and gives a card the proper heft. A “Cover” weight is heftier than a “Text” weight. You can learn more on our paper provider’s website, Neenah<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also sometimes use triple-thick paper to make exquisite embossed designs, such as our ever-popular Blossom Note<\/a> and Damask Note<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Double-thick<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Medium Paper Thickness: A Harmonious Blend<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the sweet spot lies in the middle ground. Medium-weight stationery paper offers balance and versatility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our double-thick paper — 110 lb. cover weight — is like a finely tuned guitar that can play both rock anthems and soulful ballads. It caters to a wide range of writing styles and occasions, striking a harmonious chord between elegance and substance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double-thick paper is the workhorse of our folded note collection<\/a>. It accepts crisp embossing<\/a> with aplomb and folds easily and elegantly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the world of stationery, paper thickness is the unsung hero, quietly shaping the way our words are received. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re opting for the delicate touch of thin paper, the boldness of thick paper, or the adaptable nature of medium-weight paper, remember that your choice is a creative one, defining your style and intent.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, the next time you pick up your pen to compose a letter, consider the stationery paper thickness as carefully as you choose your words. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
