TREES

No wood fiber goes into Crane paper. There’s no lignin in cotton, so zero dioxins are formed.

FIBER SOURCE WHITES

Cotton was the preferred choice for fine paper in Europe and the colonies, until demand exceeded supply. From dreamy to creamy, they’re premium and pristine: Fluorescent, Pearl, Natural, Ecru, Ivory.

COLORSPerfectly-saturated fibers in freshlyfashionable hues – think of them as cotton candy for the eye.

% COTTON

And 100% recovered and reused since 1801, when Zenas Crane began buying household rags.

YEARS OF PAPERMAKING
Cotton fibers are long and strong, like our papermaking heritage.

It’s hard for people to get their heads around the reality of woodfree paper. When we showclients or new employees Crane paper, they say how different it feels from “regular” paper but that it reminds them of something else… and when we say, “Like the U.S. dollar?” – they instantly say, “Yes, that’s it!” And then we get to tell them it’s 100% cotton.

Crane paper has enjoyed a reputation for innovation and beauty for over200 years. Crane first won the U.S. Treasury Department’s bid to provide the paper for U.S. currency in 1879. The dedication to quality and reliability that earned us our first contract still goes into every sheet of Crane paper – along with the finest cotton available. The world has changed a great deal, but what goes into our paper has not.

At Crane, making 100% cottonpaper is as natural as ABC – which in our case stands for Absolute Best Cotton.

No trees are cut to make Crane paper because it is 100% cotton. But no cotton is grown to make Crane paper. So, where does the cotton come from?

WHERE
Crane cotton comes from

Fibers left on the seed after ginning. Called “linters,” they are removed from the cottonseed before extracting the seed oil.Fibers recovered from the textile industry in the form of trimmings. Any dirt or impurities, or even a snipping of polyester thread, would compromise the paper. Crane’s standards are the highest anywhere.

Crane is classic, but also very earthy, because of the fibers. It’s a paper you can enjoy even with your eyes closed. It takes a letterpress impression so beautifully. I set a disclaimerstatement in 5 pt type, and it was perfectly crisp.

Crane paper behaves a bit like fabric because it is 100% cotton, which is also why it is such a pleasure to touch. Because the cotton fibers truly are recovered and reused, Crane paper is environmentally exemplary.

Crane paper performs so well

1 2 3 4 "

Itssuppleness comes from the pliability of cotton fibers.

Its resiliency comes from the natural properties of cotton fibers.

WHY

Its strength comes from the long fibers’ ability to fan and intertwine in the papermaking process. Its crispness comes from shrinking the fibers in the drying process. The bond is exceptional, giving the paper a certain snap.

I had experimented with folding variouscurrencies and found that U.S. currency produced the nicest origami suits. It folds so crisply, but I actually prefer the older bills – they are like a well-used towel. And sometimes I iron them. Later, when I learned that Crane paper is 100% cotton, its ease of ironing made complete sense.
