Custom-made

If none of our standard paper ranges fits the bill, go bespoke. Every year we develop scores of custom-made papers for designers and brand-owners whose projects demand a memorable, one-off material.

We’ll work with you to create your own signature paper, guiding you through the alternatives of material, weight, surface, colour, texture, inclusions, watermarking and size. We’ll define the smoothness, stiffness, brightness and opacity to add value and character to your project, and bring to bear all of the scientific knowledge, experience and craftsmanship of the experts and R&D teams at our mills.

Your custom-made paper starts here. The options include:

• Fibre
  • Virgin FSC or PEFC-certified wood pulp
  • Post-consumer recycled pulp
  • Cotton linters
  • Alternative fibres
• Surface
  • Smooth
  • Wove
  • Rough
  • Laid
  • Soft-touch
  • Felt-marked
  • Embossed
  • Watermarked
• Colours and visual effects
  • White or colour
  • Metallic
  • Matt
  • Gloss
  • Translucent
  • Inclusions
• Weight
  • From 50gsm to 450gsm
  • Duplexing for higher grammages
• Special properties
  • Wet strength
  • Security features
  • Smart paper
  • Food contact

Stage by stage, our team will bring your vision to life:

• Consultation: we’ll discuss your project and objectives, and try to match any samples you have (paper, cloth, fabric, leather…)
• Research and prototyping: lab trials will help us to produce samples and define a product specification
• Product development: we’ll carry out mill trials and the technical validation process
• Production: once it has rolled off our presses, your bespoke paper will be delivered to you or your printer
