PAPER // CSA Images look best on French Paper Co. paper.

Established in 1871, the french paper company is a sixth-generation, family-owned, american company and after 140 years of continual operation, french is one of the last remaining small, independent mills in america. Long recognized for their iconic designer paper brands including speckletone, dur-o-tone, pop-tone, and construction, french’s impact on the design world has been enormous. Their environmental footprint, however, is tiny. French uses no petroleum in the manufacturing of their papers, and instead generates their own clean, renewable energy. Today, french paper continues to innovate by becoming the first mill to go beyond pulp to provide not only distinctive papers, but the equally amazing images to use on them. By offering the world’s most extensive and highly regarded free digital design resource, french has created a powerful new means to enhance the work of creative people everywhere.
