IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A PAPER THAT PRESENTS YOUR UNIQUE DESIGNS IN THE BEST LIGHT, YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

See how we helped artist Erinn Foglesong share her quirky ideas on quality paper.

From Bride to Business Owner

Erinn Foglesong expresses her offbeat sense of humor through clever writing and simple, appealing design. But talent alone couldn’t ensure that her business, Lexington Lettering, LLC, would take off. Erinn knew that high-end paper had to be part of the equation.

Her journey began in 2014 while she was planning her wedding. To save money on invitations and programs, Erinn began practicing calligraphy. She enjoyed it so much that she started offering her hand-lettering services to others. Since then, Erinn has expanded her Kentucky-based business to include greeting cards, prints, stickers, magnets, coffee mugs, and more. (She’s even created watercolor paintings for Ed Sheeran and custom corn hole boards for Shawn Mendes.)

Enter Red River Paper

For her folded greeting cards, Erinn’s favorite Red River Paper products are our 60lb. Pecos River Gloss Greeting Cards and our 60lb. Polar Matte Greeting Cards. Pecos River gives Erinn an eye-catching, high-gloss front, as well as the plain-paper back she needs for printing text and light graphics. Colors pop off the brilliant white tone, while blacks are rich and deep. Our Polar Matte offers a soft white printing surface with the subtle non-reflective matte finish, allowing details to be the focus of the print. Both card stocks are acid free and compatible with any inkjet printer.

“[Red River Paper has] provided me with quality paper products that always turn out exceptional once printed!” says Erinn. “The quality and customer service are fantastic.” We must admit, we are big on quality — and helping our customers any way we can.
