Your Own Personal Consultant

Athens Paper works to make your paper choices easy. Our Specification Representative not only fulfills your paper sample requests, but acts as your personal consultant in answering questions and offering recommendations and solutions for your most involved projects.

There are many times when a single paper sheet is all that is needed to make your decision. But for those projects calling for a little more vision, detailed mock-up dummies of brochures or annual reports can be not only useful, but essential, in making a confident paper choice. There’s nothing like seeing and feeling the difference between comparable brands and grades, formatted to your project specification: perfect bound, saddle-stitched or pocketed inserts. Mill-produced printed promotions are also available so you can see the true print performance of the papers you are considering.
