We generally associate gold and silver wrapping paper with the festive season but, like puppies, it’s not just for Christmas.

The first beauty of metallic wrapping paper is that it brings instant glamour to anything – whether it is wrapped presents, drawer lining, scrapbooking or in a frame as a poster (you should try this – add a piece of wrapping paper to a lovely frame with a pre-cut mount for an instantly chic picture!) The second beauty of metallic wrapping paper is that it costs less than our normal wrapping paper!

The Pantone colour for 2018 is Ultra Violet, which just happens to be the science behind what makes neon colours fluoresce and glow with an appealing eye-catching brightness. If Ultra Violet is the colour for 2018, neon printing is set to be the breakthrough product of 2018.

As the UK’s first ever online eco-printer we have been blazing a trail for environmentally friendly printing since 2006, offering a comprehensive range of products available on recycled papers and printed with vegetable oil based inks and eco-friendly toners. And whilst these days almost all inks are vegetable oil based and almost all paper pulp is sourced from sustainable crop grown forests we continue to promote and champion eco-friendly printing because doing no harm to our planet is what we believe in.

When is a perfect bound notebook not a perfect bound notebook? When it is one of our innovative new square spine notebooks. 

The absolute beauty of this product is that it creates notebooks with up to 100 pages but does not need to be perfect bound – which of course makes it a far more affordable option. The notebook is finished with two staples in the normal way, but goes through a special process that creates not just a square spine on the cover, but also on the text pages. This in turn means that the pages fit snuggly within the spine with less tendency for the books to spring open. With a squared spine the stitched book lays flatter and looks very similar to a perfect bound book.
