Real mid-century factory papers, scanned razor-sharp and ready to give your digital work honest analog soul.

Picture prying open a rusted filing cabinet in the back room of the old LENCO plant. One that hasn't seen daylight since the fifties. Tucked behind dusty shelves and forgotten crannies sat a goldmine of original industrial papers, left untouched while the modern world sped right on by.

These aren't pristine, white-glove archive sheets. No sir. Every page is loaded with real grit, grease, and honest-to-goodness factory grime. Water-stained margins, factory-dust patinas, and decades of heavy-duty character that no modern computer trick could ever fake.

Industrial Pulp Paper Textures resurrects 20 of these surfaces in ultra-high resolution, paired with an Aged Ink smart layer system for Photoshop that soaks your artwork into the paper fibers like it rolled off the factory floor in 1957.

  • 20 Gritty and Pulpy Paper Textures: Mega-sized 16x20 inches at 300 DPI for ultra-sharp detail. Easy to scale up or down without losing fidelity.
  • Aged Ink Smart Layer PSD: A built-in ink time machine. Double-click, paste your art, save, and watch your design soften with natural ink bleed and real print absorption.
  • Complete Fine-Tune Control: Custom adjustment sliders to push and pull texture intensity, dial in ink absorption, and control edge saturation.
  • 100% Non-Destructive Workflow: Tweak, experiment, and undo all you want without touching your original vector or raster artwork.
  • Packed With Character: Grit, grime, scrunk, and scrizz pulled from old archives, filing cabinets, and long-forgotten workshop shelves.
  • Includes flat JPG files. Makes for quick drag-and-drop use in Procreate, Illustrator, Affinity, and Clip Studio. Photoshop users can access the full layered texture system.

20 unique surfaces:

  • Vintage Fiber 01 to 04: Natural pulpy speckles and heavy organic weave
  • Steno Notebook Backing 01 and 02, plus Old Lined Paper: Classic industrial office stationery
  • Water Stained, Water Stained Light, and Water Stained Sharp: Subtle to heavy spills, edge saturation, and age discoloration
  • Vintage Paperback Page and Endsheet: Warm, aged book stock tones
  • Aged Divider Sheet 01 and 02, plus Aged Kraft: Deep orange and brown industrial-grade stocks
  • Grocery Bag, Stained Paper, Scuffed White, Aged Yellow, and Aged Reverse Number Bleed: Distinctive high-grit surfaces for maximum contrast

Every texture ships as a layered PSD with the Aged Ink smart layer system built in, plus flat JPEGs in full and half sizes. An illustrated LENCO Operational Manual gets you up and running in minutes.

Use it on:

  • Vintage logos and branding packages
  • Poster and gig art
  • Comic art and zines
  • Editorial layouts
  • Album covers and packaging

Basically anything that could use some real mid-century muscle.

  • Software: Layered PSDs with smart layer controls require Adobe Photoshop. Flat JPEG textures work in Procreate, Affinity, Clip Studio Paint, Illustrator, and any app that opens images
  • File Types: .PSD and .JPG (full size plus lightweight 50% versions)
  • Texture Size: 16x20 inches at 300 DPI
  • Download Size: Approximately 4 GB
  • Also Included: Illustrated LENCO Operational Manual (PDF)

    Just what I was after!

    The right font matters. It can mean the difference between triumph and tragedy. If you are looking for a poppy mid-century vibe, this is the font pack you want.
