Cardstock

Our house cardstock is a premium quality paper with a weight you can feel. It's sturdy with a matte finish and straight edge and is available in standard or double thickness.

Handmade papers

Handcrafted paper with deckled edges and texture you can feel and see. No two pieces are the same. Fibres, other materials and paper imperfections may be visible. It may also have inconsistent sizing and organic shapes, adding to its beauty.

Cotton paper

Cotton paper

Soft cotton fibres with a textured feel and a straight edge that delivers a luxurious look and feel. Cotton is ideal for letterpress or foil stamping and is available in standard or double thickness.


PRINT METHODS

We offer a range of print methods, including digital printing in colour, white ink, letterpress, foil stamping and embossing.

Letterpress

Letterpress

Your design is created from a custom-made plate pressed into paper to leave a pushed-in impression. It's ideal for cotton and handmade papers, leaving a luxurious pillowy texture.

Foil stamping

Your design is hot foil stamped from a custom-made plate using heat to apply the foil to paper. A variety of metallic and matte finishes are available. Ideal for thicker cardstock and handmade paper.

Embossing

A luxurious tactile option. Two plates are custom-made to press the paper leaving an embossed (raised) finish. It's ideal for smaller areas, such as names or monograms, giving a stand-out look and feel.

Digital printing

Digital printing

A four-colour print process that produces a variety of colours, leaving a smooth, flat print. Ideal for most designs on light-coloured cardstock.

White ink printing

White ink printing

White ink makes a modern statement and is a fresh twist on traditional colour printing. It's ideal for select coloured cardstock, dark envelopes, and vellum paper.


INK COLOURS

Colours shown on the screen will vary due to screen calibrations and when compared to printed colours in real life. Samples and test prints can be ordered to ensure we get your hues just right.
