Since its founding, Southworth has provided special paper to create the impact and impression for every occasion. Now, Southworth is making it even easier to find the paper you want. Southworth is introducing new papers in unique colors and textures, and bringing back Southworth favorites organized into collections.

We’ve added to our palette of colors, and now offer textured paper. With the introduction of new Colors + Textures papers, you’ll have an even greater range of options when choosing Southworth paper. You can also create innovative looks for any occasion using our new shaped paper from our Structures Collection. We are proud to introduce our Arc, Round Corner and Wave Edge Papers, which are so exclusive we’ve applied for patents on some of them!

We have also made it easier to navigate our catalog of paper by organizing all of your old favorites into collections. Each collection can be easily identified by the color scheme of its packaging and its collection tagline. The packaging and taglines are the same across all of the products in each collection.

The Colors + Textures Collection provides distinctive designs for visual impact. The Collection includes favorites such as Parchment and Granite Papers, as well as new papers. Distinctive Metalo Paper, available in Gold Dust and Silver Dust, has a glittery finish. Southworth has also introduced innovative embossed papers in three textures. Textured Weave Papers are available in colors including Dijon, Moss, Toast and Cider. Other additions include Textured Squares Paper in Snow, Celery and Haze, as well as Textured Linea Paper in Celery and Haze.
