It’s necessary for a paper to have properties that suit the intended usage. Use the advanced search or filter using tags to find the right paper.

Paper weight is an official value given by the manufacturer to specify the weight of a one square meter sized sheet. During manufacturing construction emerges an even more important attribute of the paper – it’s thickness (helpful, for example, when you’d like to calculate the thickness of the spine of a book).

It’s a common misconception that the paper weight determines the thickness of a paper. The thickness is instead determined by the materials used, how compressed they are, and the technologies utilized during manufacturing. Because of this some books are quite thick and surprisingly light or the opposite, heavy despite their thinness. On the attached images, we try to demonstrate the characteristics of each paper by bending them.

Prints look different on every paper, this is caused by the differences in texture, color, rigidness, transparency and ink receptivity. Following our recommendations in the table above (direct colors, foil embossing, laminating) you certainly won’t be disappointed by the end product.

In our swatchbook each material has the same print to make comparison simple.

There are two kinds of materials differentiated by their size; roll materials which are printed on by wide format poster printers and sheet materials fed into digital presses. If the required print size is larger than an SRA3 sheet (320x450mm), we recommend filtering the materials by available print size first.
