Here's How Choosing The Right Paper Gives You Power
Unlike digital, print has a superpower: it provides a unique opportunity to activate people’s senses. And, even subconsciously, many of our reactions and actions are guided by sensory information. Sure, digital print uses sight, but physical print offers a tangible way to make your project look good, feel good, and stand out.
Hammermill® paper is perfect for capturing ideas, organizing thoughts, being creative, increasing productivity, and sharing thoughts with others. But not all paper is the same. When you want quality, you need Hammermill paper.
The Hammermill brand makes choosing the right paper easy. First, because all of our paper is sustainably sourced and third-party certified. Second, because we have the right paper for every job. And third, because our papers are divided into three usage categories: Everyday, Multi-Purpose, and Premium.
So, does your project fit into the Everyday, Multi-Purpose, or Premium category? Ask yourself these questions to choose the right paper for the job.
