Printing Options
We offer professional printing to bring your brand to life across every panel:

Pro Tip: Ink & Paper Interaction Matters
Paper choice affects how your print performs:
- White kraft → bright base → excellent CMYK colour reproduction
- Brown kraft → absorbs ink → softer tones → best suited to Pantone for colour accuracy
- Recycled brown kraft → natural texture → works best with Pantone or single-colour print
- Dark or coloured backgrounds → require a white base layer to keep colours sharp
