My Notes About (so-called) 12x12 Paper

And Now, 12x12 Albums, too!


This page started as a list that I had compiled for myself to shop for acid-free, lignin-free 12x12 paper, which often isn't really 12x12 at all. I decided to post the list on the web in the hope that a) it might be useful to others, and b) others would contribute information about brands that I haven't encountered yet.

If you know the actual size of a brand of acid-free, lignin-free 12x12 paper that isn't on this list, please let me know. My email address starts with lsbess and ends in @geocities.com, or you can use this mailto link by removing the 9nospam9 before sending: Email me

Important Notes:

The paper list is incomplete. There are many other brands of paper out there, and I am happy to add any that are missing (just let me know). The "Notes" column is particularly incomplete (e.g., I'm sure that many of the brands include recycled content -- I just happen to know about a few). I'm also happy to remove any brand or link if the manufacturer or vendor doesn't want it here.
The paper list may contain errors. The information here was gathered from my personal shopping observations and from the web sites and people mentioned on the page. If you see an error here, please let me know so I can fix it.
This page contains no recommendations or value judgments. The lists below are in no particular order, other than the paper being generally grouped by size for convenience. I have not used all of the paper listed here or all of the vendors who provided paper size information, and I don't sell anything. It isn't necessarily good or bad that a paper is a particular size or contains recycled content, except to the extent that it fits your album or other otherwise meets your needs.
That's the end of the caveats! :-)
