Green and clean
We love to print, but not when it creates waste and pollution. We recycle 98% of everything
that can be used again, and send the remaining 2% to become refuse-derived fuel instead of going to the landfill.
We're committed to leading the industry in best environmental practices that we keep on improving.
Paper options
Silk, Gloss, Uncoated or Tintoretto Gesso
in 120 to 350gsm
Silk Silk coated paper has a low surface sheen and luxurious feel. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear bright and defined. The overall look is more low-key than gloss coated paper.
Gloss Gloss coated paper has a high surface shine and very smooth finish. Printed colours 'pop up' and appear extra vibrant, making it a favourite choice for promotional items. Ink dries well on gloss paper, so you're unlikely to need lamination.
Uncoated Our uncoated paper has a soft finish and tactile quality. Because it's more absorbent than coated paper, printed inks appear flatter. It's the best choice for stationery as it's easy to write on.
Tintoretto Gesso A classy, textured paper for when you want to go luxe. Its pleasing 'rough-but-refined' surface demands to be touched. It's perfect for wedding invitations and other occasions when only the best will do.
Folding options
Half fold Folded in half along the centre, as in greetings cards.
Roll fold Paper scored into three sections, with outer flaps folding one over the other. Also known as the letter fold, this type is easily handled by automatic envelope stuffers.
Z fold Folded like an accordion or Z-shape, allowing you to show three panels of artwork on each side, which are viewed in sequence. Tip: can tend to spring open with heavier weight paper, so stick to lighter stock.
Gate fold Outer flaps folded into middle. When unfolded it reveals a range of images which can be used to dramatic effect.
Finishes explained - Matt lamination gives a soft slightly dull finish, giving a sophisticated, modern look. Gloss lamination gives a high gloss finish that is not achieved with a gloss card. A lamination is recommended on solid colours or images for vibrancy (and protection!).
24 hour express option available
48hr standard turnaround
Packaging - All orders are carefully packed in plain, unbranded white packaging, so you can send products direct to clients. We pack using shrink wrap where it's needed, for protection during transit.
