The process of manufacturing Micarta involves pressing together ply's of epoxy treated paper, linen or canvas under high heat and pressure. From this point, the pressed sheet can be fabricated into various parts or shapes. While there are various substrates of Micarta that they manufacture, paper tends to produce richer colors and remain more homogeneous across the board.

It generally produces a smoother texture, delivering more of a shine compared to that of canvas or linen micarta. The various paper Micartas continue to have a high demand in the gun and knife markets, as it is also one of the primary materials used for knife handle liners handles and some styles of pistol grips.
