Printing Options

We offer a full range of professional printing techniques to bring your branding to life:

Pro Tip: Ink & Paper Interaction Matters

The combination of ink and paper plays a key role in the final result:

  • Kraft Paper absorbs ink, giving softer, muted colours. Best suited to Pantone inks for stronger colour accuracy.
  • Bristol Paper has a smooth surface that enhances vibrancy and detail. Ideal for CMYK printing.
  • Dark or Coloured Paper requires a white base layer. This ensures colours remain sharp and visible.

Add premium finishing touches to elevate your packaging:

  • Matt or gloss lamination, included at no extra cost
  • Embossing
  • Hot foil stamping
