Papers available in a kaleidoscope of colours

Elegant shades available from soft, on trend pastels with understated elegance, through to intense bolds and cheerful bright shades - there is a colour for every occasion.

High opacity, ideal medium for print

With the benefit of high opacity, or lack of transparency, there is minimal show-through or visibility of printing on the reverse side of a sheet of paper under normal lighting conditions.

Suited to both traditional and digital print processes

Digital print is great for smaller quantities using CYMK colours, offset printing is more adaptive and both CYMK and pantone colours can be used in the process.
