Portland, Oregon – January 19, 2026 – Two Sides North America (TSNA), a non-profit organization advocating for the sustainable attributes of print, paper, and paper-based packaging, is pleased to announce PaperSpecs as its newest member.

PaperSpecs, an industry resource for graphic design professionals working with paper, offers education, inspiration and hands-on tools to support their work with innovative and exceptional print projects.

“At PaperSpecs, we’ve always believed that print doesn’t need defending, it just needs the facts,” says PaperSpecs Founder Sabine Lenz. “That’s why joining Two Sides felt like such a natural fit. They’re cutting through the noise, debunking myths, and showing designers, brands and creatives what paper really brings to the table — creativity, sustainability, and truth. I’m thrilled to be part of a community that’s as passionate about setting the record straight on print as we are.”

Two Sides North America agrees that the new addition to its network of sustainability-driven businesses is an organic fit. “We are delighted to welcome PaperSpecs to our growing network,” said Jules Van Sant, Executive Director of Two Sides. “Their recognized commitment to supporting creatives with an emphasis on sustainability aligns perfectly with our goals. PaperSpecs’ standing in the industry as a top-tier resource for paper-focused graphic designers further strengthens our platform’s ability to advocate for the positive environmental story of print and paper.”

This partnership serves as an example of the wide-ranging support for fact-based information about the sustainability of paper in an age where environmental concerns are increasingly paramount. PaperSpec’s partnership with Two Sides will provide both organizations with increased opportunities to foster greater environmental awareness and promote the use of sustainable paper solutions..
