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, Tintoretto Gesso, Trucard, Crack-Back
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.
Trucard A specialist greeting card material that is coated and scratchproof on the outside, and uncoated inside so it's easy to write on. We use heavy 300gsm to 530gsm card for high-quality greeting cards that last.
Crack-Back Crack-Back paper only cracks where it's supposed to, making your labels super easy to peel off from the backing. However, the aggressive adhesives make sure the labels stay stuck once they are in place. Crack-Back paper stickers are cut to size. Choose matt Crack-Back for low sheen and a luxurios feel, or choose gloss Crack-Back to make your colours 'pop'.
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!).
Papers - We only offer professional-grade papers that meet the high standards of our customers. Working with the UK's leading paper mills and distributors, we select the latest durable, high quality papers with the right environment credentials.
