The stocks, foils and inks we actually run
Five working references, kept in step with the studio floor: the paper we keep on the shelf, the foil we keep on the roll, the spot inks we mix and the process builds we have proved on press, plus the packaging substrates a paper library cannot describe. Each entry says how it behaves under pressure — not just what colour it is.
Every stock we print on, and what it's like to print
17 collections from 12 mills — weight, texture, colour, whether it takes a deep letterpress impression or a clean foil hit, and what to avoid.
BrowseEvery foil we run, and the cheaper equivalents
KURZ, Crown Roll Leaf, Great Western and Chenhui — with cross-brand equivalence so you can see where the premium foil earns it and where it doesn't.
BrowseSpot colour, and what actually happens when we print it
151 PANTONE® spot inks we run, with the honest coated-versus-uncoated shift, what CMYK cannot reach, and when foil beats metallic ink.
BrowseFour-colour builds we have actually printed
129 hue families, each a seven-step tonal run, across 12 colour families — with coated versus uncoated behaviour, rich blacks that stay black, and tints that survive the press.
BrowseCarton laminates and pouch films, layer by layer
2 families — aseptic and gable-top cartons, kraft-and-foil coffee pouches, mono-material film — with the layer stack, how each takes print, and what happens to it after use.
