Abstract
A conventional paper product used for printing or for fabrication into envelopes, file folders, forms and the like, is prepared by having antimicrobial agents added into the sizing during the manufacturing process. The antimicrobial agent provides protection to the paper from fungi, mildew and bacteria that could otherwise destroy the paper or be harmful to the user thereof.
