PAPERS

White Recycled Paper

White Recycled

High-grade recycled paper made from 100% recycled pulp. An uncoated finish in bright white.

Forensic Description: A very bright white for a recycled card. It leans towards having a hint of grey, rather than blue or traditionally, yellow. The uncoated texture, subtle and soft to the touch, contains minute fragments of darker fibres picked up in the recycling process. At 350gsm it has a nice snap to it, not found in similar weights of coated papers. The 170gsm also feels more like 200gsm, so more than adequate for a premium looking flyer material. The environmental credentials of our white, natural & silk recycled are exceptional, with an array of certificates, labels and awards associated with its raw material procurement and manufacture.

  • FSC Certified Recycled Fibre
  • Renewable Energy
  • Highly Ranked with WWF
  • Biodegradable
  • Carbon offset with World Land Trust
  • EU Ecolabel - Environmental Performance Award
Silk Recycled

Silk Recycled

A super smooth, high white silk coated paper. Made from 100% recycled pulp.

Forensic Description: The 'satin like' silk coating on this paper allows dry toner to sit on top and dry quickly. This means that colours are not absorbed into the fibres and allows for a slightly more vivid and detailed image. You will still find small flecks of recycled material in the paper if you look close enough and the paper itself 'although very much white' leans towards a warmer yellow off-white. It has a glossy finish when using high amounts of ink or toner, one reason we no longer sell a gloss option.

  • FSC Certified Recycled Fibre
  • Renewable Energy
  • Highly Ranked with WWF
  • Biodegradable
  • Carbon offset with World Land Trust
Natural Recycled

Natural Recycled

An uncoated recycled paper in a natural shade. Manufactured without the use of Optical Bleaching Agents (OBA). Probably the most environmentally friendly paper we supply.

Forensic Description: This natural paper stock is off-white and full of interesting long recycled fibres, when viewed up close. It has a lovely soft feel for an uncoated material and a nice snap and thickness across the varying weights. This paper is ideal if you are wanting your product to look 'recycled' and 'raw', It is also great for any form of text advertising, as the off-white colour in contrast with a black or blue text is easy on the eyes.

  • FSC Certified Recycled Fibre

Forensic Description: Matt is a smooth and soft matt coated paper that boasts one of the highest whiteness levels on the market (CIE 171). This makes it great for printing solid colours accurately and provides great contrasts due to it's whiter than white colour.

Elephant Poo

Elephant Poo

Yes, it really does include Elephant Poo! A high quality crafted paper made using the first mechanical paper making machine local to us in the south of the UK. Made using at least 70% recycled material, sometimes more, with the inclusion of Elephant Poo which gives it the varied texture and flecks. 
All paper is made from plant & natural fibre… And this does’t have to come from tress! The Charity Paper Mill supports the work of elephant sanctuaries in Thailand by utilising the huge quantities of usable plant fibre that isn’t digested by their resident elephants. Herbivores with a high fibre diet are the ideal waste producer, with rhino, reindeer, giraffe and koala, all contributing to our efforts to reduce deforestation and use alternative sources of fibre.

Forensic Description: Rich in texture throughout, the flecks and added particles are clearly visible without being overbearing through a printed image. The 280gsm feels more like 350gsm, as it has a nice snap to it. The paper feels rough to touch, but it has an honest raw feeling which seems ideal for invitations or postcards requiring some substance. The print quality is slightly affected in the few uneven areas, but overall a fascinating paper that will only enrich your print design.

  • 70% Recycled Material
  • Infused with Elephant Poo Waste Product
  • UK Made
Brown & Grey Kraft

Brown & Grey Kraft

A typical kraft paper that screams recycled, eco-friendly and natural. A light brown or light grey paper that is available in both thick and thin weights.

Forensic Description: Kraft is a popular choice for brands that really want that raw recycled look. It is made using 100% recycled fibres, you can almost see them all within the material. It has a rough feel and makes any print look matted. Great for printing dark text or photographs that are not white dependent.

  • Made with 100% Recycled Fibre
  • Acid & Chlorine Free
  • Biodegradable

Limestone Synthetic

Finally, a non-plastic synthetic material. A great solution to avoid lamination for a range of indoor and outdoor applications.

Forensic Description: This synthetic paper is extremely smooth which makes it great for printing. It has a slightly off-white tint similar to satin or silk paper and is ideal for outdoor use. It doesn’t tear, so it is great for maps or racing numbers & posters used during outdoors events. Limestone is a naturally abundant source, but what's more, the manufacturing of this material uses 97% less water than paper and much less CO2 emmissions than any plastic.

  • Recyclable
  • Made with 100% Renewable Energy
Meadow Seed

This bespoke UK made paper contains a minimum of 80% recycled fibre, with an inclusion of flower and plant seeds and zero harmful chemicals. Seed paper is a great choice for a wide range of creative applications, such as stationery, wedding invitations and greetings cards. When in production at mill, each sheet is hand torn and carefully produced to keep the seed in the condition in which it arrived at the mill, giving it every chance of successful germination. The inclusions are UK native wildflower seeds and grass seeds, perfect to plant without introducing invasive species. When the paper is no longer required, it can be planted and do its bit for our insect and bird populations. The Seed Content is varied but can include varieties of: BROWNTOP, CORN FLOWER, RED FESCUE CRESTED DOGSTAIL, CORN MARIGOLD, CORN POPPY, SMOOTH STALKED MEADOW GRASS, CORN CHAMOMILE, HARD FESCUE and SHEEP’S FESCUE.

ARTWORK SETUP

We would love it if you supply your artwork with 3mm of bleed added around the outside edge of your page or artboard.

The best type of file to supply is a PDF file. With single pages rather than spreads where applicable.

Images can be sent as JPG files.

What is Bleed?

Bleed is that extra bit we stick outside the design area to ensure that the design runs to the edge of the page once trimmed.

Without this there is a very high risk of white unprinted paper appearing at the edge of your printed design.

How to apply bleed

You can apply bleed by making your artboard or page 3mm bigger on all sides.

You’ll need to make sure no text or information that you want to be included in the final print is within 8mm from the edge of the page to be within a safe area for trimming.

Note: We will do our best to print your file as close to how you have it on screen. If it looks fuzzy or pixelated on screen it will print that way. Try to provide high resolution images when ever possible.

Delivery and Turnaround

Our turnaround on most types of printing is 5 working days. This means that if we receive a request to print on Monday, it will typically arrive by Friday. If there is chance of a delay we will let you know. Sometimes changes in artwork and design can slow down the process. Larger jobs may take longer, we will notify you if this is the case.

Always let us know when you need something urgently. We do not charge extra for this, however, in some cases it may not be possible. We promise to do our best.

Standard Delivery is Next Day with Parcel Force, the cost for this is currently £4.95 + vat. They also offer a pre-12 and Saturday delivery if required. In some cases we send out deliveries with Royal Mail. This service is for smaller ‘Large Letter’ parcels.
