What is natural textured paper?
Last updated 17 June 2026.
Natural textured paper is prized for its natural, fibrous quality and classic feel. It is entirely uncoated, providing a textured, matte surface that is ideal for writing.

Why choose natural textured paper?

This paper is all about texture and a natural, organic feel. If you look closely, you can actually see the delicate paper fibres, giving your cards a unique, tactile quality. Because both the front and back are completely uncoated, it is one of our best options for writing notes, signatures or dates without any risk of smearing.

Tips for your design

  • Embrace the texture: This stock is perfect for rustic or minimalist designs that let the natural paper fibres show through.

  • Colour note: Because this paper is highly porous, dark ink will be absorbed directly into the fibres. This can result in a softer, more muted look and may reduce the sharpness of fine details compared to coated stocks.

  • Perfect for stationery: Since it's so easy to write on, this is a great choice for thank you notes, loyalty cards or appointment reminders.
