...for people passionate about paper

Everywhere we look we are surrounded by things made from paper, from a tiny till receipt or bus ticket, to a beautiful watercolour painting hanging in an art gallery, from a bank note to a graduation certificate. Whichever way we look at it paper is part of our lives and indeed paper is part of our history. Every piece of paper has personality and the paper we choose is a statement of our own personality and taste. We at Paper2go believe that in whatever form it takes ‘paper is part of the picture’.

Colorplan Stucco

Paper 135gsm

All the inherent beauty and unparalleled qualities of our Colorplan range apply to Colorplan Stucco, they both start life as the same paper, but Colorplan Stucco has something extra, a unique textured surface. The Stucco effect brings a third dimension to the paper. It transforms not only its look but also its feel. The paper’s texture, the paper’s tactility, subtly influence your perception of its quality and potential. For example two different sheets of paper together rely purely on differences in colour to separate them, but if one has a texture and one doesn’t they both come alive on their own merits regardless of colour.

Like the Parchment range, Marbled works beautifully in its own right, but why not think about using it in conjunction with a plain paper for a really special effect.

Parchment is the ideal paper for certificates and is one of the most popular choices for restaurant menus. Although not guaranteed, Parchment has produced some excellent results on inkjet printers, ask for a free sample sheet to see how it performs in your printer.

A beautifully clean and crisp paper, our Marbled range is the genuine article. Copied by so many by using a cheap card and printing the marble effect, ours is a true marble incorporated into the sheet as part of the paper making process.

Due to its inherent strength Plasma is virtually indestructable. It is impossible to tear and cannot be stapled. It can be folded but requires a score with a craft knife.

Colorflute is the genuine self coloured corrugated card. So many alternatives are white paper printed with the colour. This looks fine until you cut it and find the edge shows white somewhat spoiling the intended effect. Why settle for second best when you can have the real thing? Colorflute’s rich depth of colour has numerous craft possibilities. The colour palette is enhanced with the addition of the Gold and Silver options which have a metallic mirror film applied to the corrugated card base resulting in a unique effect. Colorflute - the finest corrugated on the market.

Biblio / Onion Skin These super lightweight papers add an interesting dimension to many projects. Biblio is 50gsm smooth paper, which despite being exceptionally thin, is also very strong and opaque. As its name suggests, it is the paper that Bibles are commonly made from. Onion Skin is even lighter than Biblio at only 34gsm. It has an unusual cockle finish that gives a crisp but delicate feel.

A sumptuous collection of papers transfixing the eye, rich to the touch. Treasury The visual attraction of Real Gold and White Gold is simply stunning, they have an unmatched radiance and a uniqueness that depicts true beauty and value. The Soft Touch colours on the other hand are a master of deception. Your eyes will see paper, but your fingertips will feel something else - perhaps a feel of rubber? - why not find out for yourself. The paper’s special secret coating really does have to be felt to be believed. Bier paper contains beer! Produced on the oldest paper making machine in Europe hidden away in the Bavarian Alps, the sediment of hops and yeast left over from the beer-making process is used to make this amazing brew. Bier’s subtle flecked texture, rich colour and unique heritage make it a very special paper indeed. Our Thai Tissue colours appeal to the sense of serenity. A soft and kind collection that evokes thoughts of a gentler way of life. Thai Tissue is only available in mixed packs and uniquely comes in both A4 and A2 sizes (500x700m) lending itself to special wrapping projects amongst other uses. A4

Office Many years ago when hand written letters were the norm rather than the exception, nobody would dream of using white paper. Writing pads were always made from a pastel coloured paper with a nice quality feel to it. Every letter was unique, handwriting differed from person to person, people used different pens, different coloured ink, the paper changed - overall every letter had its own identity, its own feel and was a pleasure to receive.

Originally, the only letters carried were those to and from the Monarch and the Royal Court. In 1635 a Royal Proclamation extending the use of the “Royal Mail” to the public was issued by Charles I.

With the advent of home computers and laser and inkjet printing, letters and CV’s have lost something. The majority are on inferior white copier paper, people use the same font, they all look the same. A special paper is a way of bringing back some individuality. A special paper makes it look like you care, it tells people you are an individual, and it shows that you have given just that extra bit of thought to what you present to them. First impressions count - you only have one chance to make a first impression - give yourself the best chance. We hope you like the Office range and understand the benefits of making it your new choice for home computer use. The Office range is a unique collection of colour and texture that performs with today’s technology but introduces a quality look and feel which together with the matching envelopes really does make all the difference. * Acid Free

The majority of our envelopes are made from paper much thicker than normal envelopes, and give a crispness and quality so often lacking. Research proves that a yellow envelope in a pile of standard white and manilla ones will be opened first. You don’t have to choose yellow – all our colours will have the same impact, the same sense of expectancy and anticipation that the contents will be something special and something exciting.
