Colorplan Stucco

All the inherent beauty and unparalleled qualities of ourColorplan range apply to Colorplan Stucco, they both start lifeas the same paper, but Colorplan Stucco has somethingextra, a unique textured surface. The Stucco effect brings a third dimension to the paper. Ittransforms not only its look but also its feel. The paper’stexture, the paper’s tactility, subtly influence your perceptionof its quality and potential. For example two different sheetsof paper together rely purely on differences in colour toseparate them, but if one has a texture and one doesn’t theyboth come alive on their own merits regardless of colour.

Which do you choose - Colorplan or Colorplan Stucco? Tomake the choice more difficult there is no price premium forthe Stucco texture, simply choose what your mind, or yourheart, tells you.

Parchment

The foremost parchment board available in a beautifulrange of colours. Its unique surface pattern gives a visualappeal lacking in so many of today’s papers.

The paper is a modern day version of the parchment usedthousands of years ago. It looks superb on its own, or whynot use it in conjunction with a plain paper, perhaps one ofour darker Colorplan colours to give a stunning contrast.

Parchment is the ideal paper for certificates and is one ofthe most popular choices for restaurant menus.

Although not guaranteed, Parchment has produced someexcellent results on inkjet printers, ask for a free samplesheet to see how it performs in your printer.

Marbled

A beautifully clean and crisp paper, our Marbled range isthe genuine article. Copied by so many by using a cheapcard and printing the marble effect, ours is a true marbleincorporated into the sheet as part of the paper makingprocess. Compare the two and there is no comparison -why pay a premium for an inferior product?

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

Marbled papers are very popular in the craft market but formany years have been frequently specified by businesses togive an upmarket feel to menus and invitations for example.

Although not guaranteed Marbled card works well in laserprinters which are able to accept the heavier weight.

Biblio / Onion SkinThese super lightweight papers add an interesting dimension tomany projects.

Biblio is 50gsm smooth paper, which despite beingexceptionally thin, is also very strong and opaque. As its namesuggests, it is the paper that Bibles are commonly made from.

Onion Skin is even lighter than Biblio at only 34gsm. It has anunusual cockle finish that gives a crisp but delicate feel.

TranslucentsOur collection of translucent papers is very special.

Transclear is the traditional tracing paper type effect and isused the world over in an endless combination of interestingand innovative ways.

A further option is the much more unique White Cloud andCrystal papers. The same properties as the traditionalTransclear but with a subtle effect incorporated into the sheetadding a further dimension.

The final choice is to use colour. From subtle pastel shades tobold and brash colours, they are all available at Paper2go.

MetallicsWe are all drawn to light and reflection – it has a naturalattraction.

Paper with a metallic or pearlescent finish has the same effect,it can lift a plain look to something much more enticing. Thealluring effect of the Diamond and Opal Pearl colours contrastwith the more daring Metallic Silver and Gold.

Many years ago when hand written letters were thenorm rather than the exception, nobody would dream ofusing white paper. Writing pads were always made froma pastel coloured paper with a nice quality feel to it.Every letter was unique, handwriting differed fromperson to person, people used different pens, differentcoloured ink, the paper changed - overall every letterhad its own identity, its own feel and was a pleasure toreceive.

With the advent of home computers and laser and inkjetprinting, letters and CV’s have lost something. Themajority are on inferior white copier paper, people usethe same font, they all look the same.

A special paper is a way of bringing back someindividuality. A special paper makes it look like youcare, it tells people you are an individual, and it showsthat you have given just that extra bit of thought to whatyou present to them.

First impressions count - you only have one chance tomake a first impression - give yourself the best chance.

We hope you like the Office range and understand thebenefits of making it your new choice for homecomputer use.

The Office range is a unique collection of colour andtexture that performs with today’s technology butintroduces a quality look and feel which together withthe matching envelopes really does make all thedifference.

One of the most comprehensivecollections of envelopes availablein the UK today.

A fabulous array of colour andtexture guarantee attention andmake a first impression like noother. The majority of ourenvelopes are made from papermuch thicker than normalenvelopes, and give a crispnessand quality so often lacking.

Research proves that a yellowenvelope in a pile of standardwhite and manilla ones will beopened first. You don’t have tochoose yellow – all our colours willhave the same impact, the samesense of expectancy andanticipation that the contents willbe something special andsomething exciting.
