Discover Our Paper Range
From FSC-certified eco-friendly options to specialty finishes, ready for print.
Choosing the right paper for your book project is a bit like selecting the perfect frame for a treasured photograph as it can transform how your content is experienced and remembered. No matter what kind of book you're looking to print or publish, the paper you choose becomes part of your story's voice.
Discover our most popular paper options below, each with their own personality and purpose. Most paper stocks will come in multiple GSM weights or thicknesses (grams per square meter), where the higher the number, the thicker the paper will be. We've also included the specific micrometer or micron (μm) thickness as well, as the literal thickness can vary regardless of gsm; and icons for specific attributes of each paper stock when it comes to their sustainability and credentials.
If you've got any questions or would like to receive a sample pack to see and feel our paper range for yourself, reach out and we'll be happy to help.
Available Paper Finishes
Gloss
Gloss paper is a showstopper, known for its high-shine finish and its ability to make colours pop off the page. This coated paper stock achieves a professional finish perfect for graphics and photos as it delivers the most vibrant colour reproduction possible.
The glossy surface reflects light beautifully and is more resistant to dust and dirt, but text is often harder to read under bright lights and fingerprints will show more easily.
Silk (or Satin)
Silk (also called satin) paper is a great choice that strikes a fine balance between the benefits of gloss and uncoated paper, with a slight shine to make both text and images stand out and added durability for an professional, yet understated appearance.
The semi-gloss surface has a smooth, elegant feel with a subtle sheen that enhances colours and provides good contrast while minimising glare.
Uncoated
Uncoated paper is the comfortable favourite that has no surface coating, for a natural, slightly textured feel that's easy read and satisfying to touch. The absorbent surface creates a softer appearance, often muting colours compared to coated papers but offers excellent readability with no glare or reflectiveness.
The matte surface is also naturally absorbent, so ink penetrates slightly into the paper fibres, creating a warmer, more organic look to both text and images.
Premium Uncoated
Choosing a premium uncoated paper can add a unique touch to your project and elevate the story you'd like to tell. These ultra-fine paper stocks provide different textures for a luxurious finish, often used for projects that require a refined printing surface.
The natural, matte finish surface stands out for having a brighter, smoother surface texture than standard uncoated paper. This results in a superior quality print with crisper text and cleaner image reproduction.

Credentials & Accreditations Icon Guide
Many of our paper options are more than your standard paper stock too, with many sourced from companies with certifications for responsible forestry management, as well as papers made using alternative methods to reduce harmful by-products.
As part of acknowledging our impact and commitment, we're always on the look out for how we can further reduce any negative impact our work has on the environment and in doing so, ensure that you have plenty of paper stock options that align with your goals and commitments as well. You'll find the following icons under each relevant, respective paper types in our range below, so it only makes sense that we let you know what they all signify:
Fibre used in the production of paper that is sourced from pulp suppliers who practice responsible forestry techniques and/or use paper from managed plantation forests such as FSC® (The Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC® (The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification).
Paper made up of recycled fibres which have been extracted from existing paper products, to be used in the manufacture of further paper products. Recycled paper can be 100% recycled or consist of a mixture of pre and post consumer waste along with some virgin fibre to add strength.
A paper that has had its carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions calculated through independent auditors; reduced where possible and ‘offset’ through credits that fund renewable emission free energy products, from raw material (seedling) through to end of life (landfill/disposal).
Similar to Certified Carbon Neutral, where a paper has had its carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions calculated through independent auditors; reduced where possible; and ‘offset’ through credits, but is carbon neutral from raw material (seedling) until it's provided to us.
Paper that is made without the use of elemental chlorine, and instead with a bleaching alternative to reduce harmful by-products.
Made from post consumer recycled fibre and processed without the use of any additional chlorine or chlorine compounds.
No chlorine or chlorine derivatives are used in the bleaching process. TCF cannot apply to recycled papers, because the source fibre cannot be determined.
No free acids are present due to care taken in the manufacturing of the pulp to eliminate any active acid and by only using alkaline additives. Acid free papers can be used for wrapping or storing jewellery, china, silver or photographs.
