Materials & Finishes

Everything we print on and finish with, in one place — for planners and designers choosing the materials for a suite.

Papers

We work exclusively with premium papers from leading mills in Italy, the United Kingdom and Germany — including heritage stocks from historic mills: Fedrigoni, Fabriano and Magnani.

Coloured papers

Solid-dyed stock from 120 to 300 gsm — a full range from white and ecru through pastels to deep colours and black. On coloured and black stock we print in white or colour at the standard printing price.

Cotton for letterpress

100% cotton, 500 gsm — a soft, heavy sheet that takes a deep, tactile impression from letterpress and embossing. Also available from 300 to 900 gsm, and with a deckle edge.

Duplex and heavier boards

We bond two sheets together to reach thicknesses no single sheet offers — including with a coloured core that shows at the edge.

Special materials

Vellum, velvet and plexi — for wraps, inserts and the decorative layers of a suite.

Covers, pocketfolds and wraps

Gatefolds, sleeves and three-fold pockets, laser cut in-house in any colour from the palette below. Motifs include lace, roses, tree of life, monstera and palm, art deco, snowflakes and ornamental gates.

Finishing touches

  • Wax seals — standard designs, or a bespoke seal cut from your own artwork.
  • Ribbons — polyester, satin, organza and silk. Silk is made to order, with a lead time of about four weeks.
  • Envelope liners, tassels and address calligraphy — assembled by hand with the rest of the suite.

See them in person

A screen can't show the weight of a cotton sheet or the depth of a foil.

Colours

The stock we cut and print on, shot from the real sheets. Each chart names every colour — quote the name or the code when you order. Screens shift colour, so ask for samples before you commit a suite.
