Paper Canvas 230 vs. 60lb. Paper Canvas


Red River Paper introduced Paper Canvas 230 to replace 60lb. Paper Canvas.

The facility that textured the original Paper Canvas went out of business in 2021. We now have the texturing done in the United States. 

Paper Canvas 230 is the same base stock with a slightly different texture. 

As you can see from the images below, the new texture is more defined and has slightly larger ridges compared to the original.
