OUR PAPERS
Bella Figura has partnered with the best mills in the world to produce a wide variety of papers for you. We stock all these papers in our Syracuse, New York print shop.
Bella COTTON
Meet the perfect wedding invitation paper, made just for us by a historic European paper mill that dates back to the 1500’s. The mill makes this soft, pillowy paper to our specification on cylinder mouldmade paper machines. Why go so far away for Bella Cotton? The ancient machines and expertise that produce genuine mouldmade paper exists only in Europe. Bella Cotton is perfect for all printing methods, except digital printing.
Luxuriously thick, addictive to touch, and subtly textured to showcase the best letterpress or foil stamped impression. Choose from 1-ply (350 gsm), 2-ply (700 gsm), 3-ply (1050 gsm) or text weight (120 gsm).

BELLA SMOOTH COTTON
Ultra smooth with a soft, satin feel, our Bella Smooth Cotton is a modern paper made just for us at a historic paper mill in New England, dating back to the early 1800’s. This paper is thick – the ultimate canvas for letterpress, foil, and digital designs. Choose from 1-ply (318 gsm), 2-ply (636 gsm), and 3-ply (954 gsm) weights. Please note that digital printing is only available on our 1-ply Bella Smooth Cotton paper, though we can duplex your digitally printed pieces for an additional charge.

BELLA HANDMADE
Bella Handmade Cotton cards are pulled one card at a time at North America’s preeminent papermaker, Twinrocker Paper in Indiana. The cards have a natural deckle edge and a completely natural surface that’s elegant and timeless. View all our Handmade Paper Wedding Invitations.
Bella Handmade Cotton paper is perfect for all printing methods except digital printing. Our handmade, full deckle-edged papers are available in F-8, A-6, and A-5 sizes in six colors: White, Ivory, Soft Gray, Laurel, Soft Blue and Soft Pink. White and Ivory both match our existing Cotton and Smooth Cotton papers and envelopes. You can pair the Bella Handmade cards with our stock envelopes, or we can produce handmade envelopes as a special order. Because our handmade paper and envelopes are made one piece at a time, each piece will be subtly unique. No two pieces are entirely identical, and handmaking paper is not an exact science. Subtle variations in deckle and shape are to be expected.
Twinrocker, the country’s preeminent handmade paper mill, makes these sheets exclusively for Bella Figura. Want to see Twinrocker pulling sheets of Bella Handmade paper? Check out this behind-the-scenes video.

Vellum
Our translucent vellum paper is available in a 40# weight and is compatible with digital printing and foil stamping. We can score this paper, too – making it an option for belly bands, overlays, and more.
Design tips and ideas for choosing your invitation paper:
You can mix and match paper weights. For instance, use 2-ply paper on the wedding invitation, and 1-ply paper on the reply card and reception card.
If impression is important to you, you’ll get the deepest impression on our 2-ply and 3-ply papers.
If you’re considering edge painting or foil edging, you may want to opt for our 2-ply or 3-ply paper — while adding an edge looks lovely on our 1-ply paper, the thicker paper will produce more eye-catching results.
ENVELOPES
Our envelopes are all eco-friendly and exclusive to Bella Figura. We can print on our envelopes via letterpress or foil stamping, or you can order your envelopes blank. You can also have your envelopes digitally addressed. We offer both a modern square flap envelope and the traditional pointed flap envelope. Pointed flap envelopes are available in select sizes in white, bright white, and ivory. Our cotton and color envelopes are priced the same. Square, #10, A-7 inner and outer, and place card envelopes are only available in the Bella white cotton, Bella bright white cotton, and ivory cotton.
Our color envelopes are a great way to bring more color to your invitation set. These envelopes are acid-free and FSC-certified.

Tips for designing your envelopes
Want more color? Add an envelope liner – we can line your envelopes with foil stamped envelope liners, digitally printed patterned envelope liners, metallic envelope liners, or vintage map or cityscape liners.
Add design details, like type monograms or illustrations from your invitations, to your envelope flaps or your envelope fronts!
Print your return address in a pretty color from your invitation suite, then ask your calligrapher to match the ink color when addressing your invitations.
POCKETFOLDS
You can add one of our pocketfolds to any of our wedding invitations to create a memorable enclosure and add a pop of color. Our pocketfolds are exclusive to us and made right here in our print shop using eco papers ranging from 100% PCW to reclaimed cotton to FSC certified. We offer letterpress printing, foil stamping and digital printing on our pocketfolds, too! Our pocketfolds are smartly self-closing with a flap, requiring no labels, adhesive, or ribbon, and they’re available to fit our rectangular A7 and F8 and square SQ7 envelopes. We adhere the invitation onto the pocketfold before shipping them to you.
Design tips for pocketfold invitations
Your pocketfold can function as an inner envelope—you or your calligrapher can address the pocketfold to your guests as you would an inner envelope.
Letterpress printing on our pocketfolds is a great way to make your pocketfold invitation unique. On the exterior of your pocketfold, we can letterpress print the bride and groom’s names, the date of your wedding, a monogram, or simply bring in design elements from your wedding invitation. We can also digitally print one of our exclusive patterns on the inside of your pocketfold.
We offer free design consultations after you place your order, where you’ll have a chance to talk to our designers about your options. So if you’re not sure what pocketfold color to use for your invitation design, or what exactly to letterpress or foil stamp on your pocketfold, no worries! (and if you need help now, just ask!).
Want to see our pocketfolds in action? View some great pocketfold wedding invitations on our blog.
BACK POCKETS
You can also add a back pocket to any of our wedding invitations to create a space to hold additional cards in your suite. Our back pockets can be made from our Cotton, Smooth Cotton, or Color papers. We offer letterpress printing, foil stamping, and digital printing on our back pockets, too!
POCKET PANEL
Our versatile pocket panels can hold your invitation and additional pieces all together, or we can adhere the invitation onto the front of the panel before shipping it to you. Available in Bella Cotton, Bella Smooth Cotton, Bella Colors, or any of our metallic stocks. The pocket panels can accommodate letterpress printing, foil stamping, digital printing, or be left blank. Available in our F-8 vertical size with a square or rounded pocket shape. Please inquire if you need a different size.
