Choosing the Perfect Paper:

The Secret to Authenticity

The right paper can make all the difference in achieving that classic newspaper feel. Here are our expert recommendations:

For Sizes Smaller than 11x17":

  • Opt for recycled paper in a greyish color

  • Choose 20lbs weight for that authentic thin newspaper feel

For Sizes Larger than 11x17":

  • Visit a specialized print or paper store

  • Look for newspaper-like papers, preferably in light grey

Can't find the perfect paper? No problem! Consider adding a light grey background to your template before printing.
