The Paper Factory

A paper mill is a factory devoted to making paper from vegetable fibers such as wood pulp, old rags, and other ingredients. Prior to the invention and adoption of the Fourdrinier Machine and other types of paper machines that use an endless belt, all paper in a paper mill was made by hand, one sheet at a time, by specialized laborers.

The Paper Factory uses a paper machine, an industrial machine that is used in the pulp and paper industry to create paper in large quantities at high speed. A modern paper-making machine that is based on the principles of the Fourdrinier Machine, which uses a moving woven mesh to create a continuous paper web by filtering out the fibers held in a paper stock and producing a continuously moving wet mat of fiber. This is dried in the machine to produce a strong paper web.

The basic process is an industrialized version of the historical process of hand paper-making, which could not satisfy the demands of developing modern society for large quantities of a printing and writing substrate. We are located in Nyack, New York, and ship worldwide.
