Laid paper envelopes, also known by other names such as ‘laid paper’ or ‘striped paper’, are high-quality paper envelopes characterized by a finish with fine transverse marks on the paper that are visible even when held up to the light. Laid paper envelopes are currently used to support high quality documents, correspondence related to art and, in short, to artistic fields or those that require a high quality paper that gives our communication a sophisticated air. The laid paper envelopes are very resistant, as well as elegant and beautiful, so you can use them on multiple occasions without damaging them.

We believe it’s important to share the origins of laid paper, as we often use products without knowing their history or significance. Understanding its background helps us appreciate its long-standing craftsmanship and tradition.

The origins of laid paper date back to the pre-industrial era of paper manufacturing, between the 12th and 19th centuries. It was produced using a wire mesh wrapped around a cylinder that, when pressing the paper pulp, created the distinctive pattern of parallel lines on the paper’s surface.

This pattern of transverse parallel lines was known as "laid" (verjurado), a term possibly derived from French or Catalan.

Nowadays, laid paper is no longer handmade, but the original process is replicated using a special watermark during the pressing and production of paper envelopes.

Because it required more effort to produce than regular paper, laid paper was historically associated with high quality, luxury, and elegance, making it more expensive than conventional paper.

Today, laid paper envelopes are still used for formal occasions where elegance, quality, and tradition matter.

When to Use Laid Paper Envelopes

These envelopes are ideal for wedding invitations, upscale events, or celebrations that demand a distinguished and sophisticated touch. They are often chosen for occasions held in historic venues such as castles, fortresses, or iconic landmarks.

Additionally, laid paper envelopes are perfect for sending greeting cards, anniversary or birthday messages, or any other important occasion where the sender wants something unique and refined.

Another common use is for gifting money at weddings, communions, or other social events, as these envelopes provide a classy presentation.

Laid Paper Envelope Options

Available in white or cream, these envelopes can come with or without an address window, in various finishes (matte, glossy, etc.), and with different flap and closure styles to suit any occasion.
