Premium Writing Papers from Neenah are typically offered in 20 lb. and 24 lb. weights. However, Watermarks can be produced in either lighter weights or up to 28 lb. writing weights depending on the detail of the supplied art. As a rule, the lighter the paper, the more visible the Watermark.
Genuine Watermarks can be positioned in a variety of ways within a sheet of paper to fit both security requirements and design elements alike.
A Wire Watermark is typically tin line art or type, and the mark is lighter than the paper. The wire mark appears more translucent than the surrounding paper when held to the light. It appears darker than the rest of the paper when placed on a flat surface. Wire marks are an excellent choice for designs with fine intricate details.
A Shaded Watermark allows for larger areas to be utilized. The shaded mark looks more opaque or darker than the surrounding paper when held to the light and lighter than the paper surrounding it when placed on a flat surface. Shaded designs are ideal for artwork with block lettering or solid images.
A Combination Private Watermark is one that includes both wire and shaded elements, giving the mark more depth and flexibility of design.
The Traditional Genuine Watermark is a pattern embedded into the paper structure itself, pressed in by a roller-mounted die (called a dandy roll) while the loose fibers are still wet -- hence, the name "watermark". Neenah is North America's leading producer of genuine private watermarked papers that are typically used by regional, national, and international institutions including corporations, universities, law firms, and professional organizations.
Minimum Order: 5,000 lbs. / 10,000 lbs. (Depending on paper brand)
