In addition to the question of the content and form of a message, the question of the appropriate medium regularly arises, especially when the option of hand printing with stamps is added to hand writing with ink or graphite. The absorbency, color, surface structure and treatment of the paper lead to different results. We have put together three papers that differ from each other in terms of color and raw material substance, but above all in terms of surface structure, each of which gives lettering and printing a unique look and feel.

The papers all come from the Pelletier paper manufactory in Brussels; the purveyor to the Belgian royal family was one of the first manufactories to provide envelopes with a lining of tissue paper. In addition to the letter paper (100 gsm) - available in A4 as a letter pad or single sheet with "Original Crown Mill" watermark or in A5 as a letter pad without watermark - we also offer matching letter cards (280 or 300 gsm) with a firmer structure as well as lined envelopes in two formats.
