Northwind Paper

merchants & converters, est. 1994

We keep cotton rag, wood-free offset and a short list of mould-made sheets for letterpress shops, bookbinders and stationers. Everything is sold mill-direct from the Ashford warehouse and cut to your order — we do not carry a retail range and we do not sell single sheets.

Grain direction is stated on every docket. If it is not stated, assume long grain and tell us we made a mistake.

Cutting and conversion

Guillotining to size is included on orders over ten reams. Scoring, perforating and folding are quoted per job; we will usually give you a figure the same day. Short-grain work is fine but say so at the order stage, not after.

Archival note: our wood-free grades meet ISO 9706 for permanence. The cotton rag grades are unbuffered by default — ask for buffered stock if the work is going into a collection.

Ordering & terms

Trade accounts are net 30 after two settled invoices. New customers pay proforma. Delivery is by our own van within the county and by pallet carrier elsewhere; pallet deliveries need a hard standing and someone to sign.

Send a specification — grade, gsm, finished size, grain, quantity — and we will confirm availability and a cut cost before anything is committed.
