#mohawk paper

Full disclosure: we love the superior quality of Mohawk cover and text-weight papers. Founded in 1931 and based in upstate New York, Mohawk remains on the cutting edge of press, pulp and green-printing technology. (And its Maker Quarterly best demonstrates their paper's versatility in almost any print project.)

Check out the quick virtual tour below to see how paper is milled from start to finish. (It’s much safer than getting a curious finger stuck in one of those rollers. Ouch!)

This is a new blog, so we're just getting a few things ready and we'll begin posting soon! If you're looking for Lindenmeyr products, please visit our website.

Have a great day, everyone!

Felt and Wire has an excellent interview with Michael Bierut on the new logo he designed for Mohawk paper. I love the way Bierut thinks about design and the purposeful approach he takes to his work. I nearly jumped out of my chair in excitement reading his thoughts on Paul Rand's approach to logo design:

Paul Rand has written quite eloquently about how logos really are vessels for meaning. He says the best thing a designer can do is to listen carefully, and then create a vessel that’s the right shape to hold the meaning that can only be added to over time by the company that it’s representing. If the company does a good job with what their business is and what their enterprise is all about, the goodwill they generate will then accumulate in this vessel that starts empty but eventually is filled up with meaning — meaning that comes from real life and real experience, rather than from the reactions one has just to colors and shapes, which can be so subjective.
