Welcome to Monday’s ‘Meet the Paper’ showcase! This week we’re taking a look at our most eco-friendly paper stock – Recycled!

Not only does this paper stock do good for the environment, it’s a great all-rounder – ideal for everything from Leaflets and Flyers right through to Greeting Cards and Invitations.

As it’s made from recycled paper, this stock features an off-white hue, with earthy flecked depths, ideal for adding a subtle extra dimension. It’s uncoated surface gives finished print a flatter, modern feel because it is more absorbent than coated papers.

Fancy using it in your designs? Take a look at some of our favourite customer artwork, all printed on Recycled paper stock!

How gorgeous are these prints by Honey and Velvet Studio? Printed on Recycled paper their soft and floral design is only enhanced by their sustainable status! Hand-drawn, Jessica’s designs usually start as pen and ink drawings, then she recreates them digitally and prints them onto high-quality Recycled paper. We just love them all!

Better Half Full

Niobe’s the chief designer/folder/packager/promoter/postlady at Better Half Full and she creates greetings cards and mugs with one key vision: to help spread happiness, making whoever receives her products smile from ear to ear! ​

Before she creates a card, she says always tries to imagine who she’d send it to and why. Each message is thought through, and each design is carefully planned. If she don’t love it, it doesn’t make the cut!
