Lettra is the premium choice for letterpress business cards. Produced American paper mill Crane & Co, Lettra is tree-free, and made from 100% cotton fibres, recovered from fine textile manufacturing. These fibres are naturally long. and elegantly blend into a subtle grain to form a luxuriously smooth look, and distinct soft and fluffy finish. Colours: Pearl and fluorescent. Weights: 600gsm is perfect for business cards. 300gsm is beautifully duplexed onto another stock.
Colorplan is the world’s most exciting paper stock. Available in a brilliant range of 50 colours, Colorplan offers unlimited possibilities for business cards as it is also compatible with letterpress, offset and digital printing. Compared to other coloured paper stocks, Colorplan is soft enough to hold letterpress impression, but still firm enough to make confident impact. Colours: 50 with special order from the UK. Weights: 250gsm, 540gsm. Please contact us for further information.
Originating from Italy, Wild is named for its unique natural and tactile surface texture. It contains 35% cotton, and combines a softness that holds letterpress impression beautifully on both sides, with a strength and sturdiness that provides confidence. Colour: Neutral Cream. Weights: 450gsm, 850gsm.
Coaster Board 390gsm was originally manufactured, funnily enough, to serve as drink coasters. Somewhere along the line however, (over a beer) we discovered it was just as good, if not better served as business cards. Coaster Board is thick and quite strong, but also offers a natural relaxed tone, making it confident yet personable. The 500gsm weight enables moderate impression on both sides of the card. Colour: Off White. Weight: 500gsm.
Grey board is a 100% recycled stock, originally suited for cartons, case bounding, packing and backing. Perfect for those seeking a raw look, Box board’s strengths are in its imperfections, with each sheet containing unique visible fibres and speckles. Its thick weight is durable and can hold deep letterpress impression on both sides. Colour: Unlined (Grey). Weight: 630gsm.
Paper mounting is the process of joining separate sheets of paper together. Duplex two, or triplex three. Mounting selected paper stocks together is perfect when looking to add extra thickness, or a punch of solid colour without adding another run of ink. Some examples include black/white, navy/cream, white/red/white, however the combinations are endless.
