On the heels of last year's remarkably successful recipe card promotion, Flywheel Press has organized a bigger and better project for this year's National Stationery Show.  

Legion has teamed up with 16 stationers who created their own matchbook journal on different fine art papers.  The above journal is from Two Paper Dolls. Collect the full library by visiting each participating booth during the show (see below for the full listing).  Once you've collected all 16, stop by the Legion Paper booth (#2974)  for the box to house the full collection.

Papermaking is a lot more than turning on a machine and watching it go.  From large, high speed machines, to slower centuries old cylinder mould machines, papermaking is a skill and an art.  The dedicated people who make our papers appreciate the time you take to let us know how these papers are working for you, and so do we.  

So when we hear that something "isn't folding as well as it used to" or "what changed on this paper so that it prints so much better now?", know that your feedback is heard by our team and discussed with the papermakers themselves.

So here's a Thank You to our customers for helping keep up the high quality of our papers!
