...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’.

Paper-folding for ceremonial and artistic
use began in China after paper was
invented. It spread to Japan, where the
word “Origami” means paper-folding,
and became a widespread art form
from the 13thcentury
onwards.

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

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

A beautifully clean and crisp paper, our Marbled range is

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.

These super lightweight papers add an interesting dimension to

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.

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

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

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.

The oldest known
greeting card is a
Valentine made in the
14th century and now in
the British Museum.

Greeting cards were sent from the early
1800s when the elite and wealthy
delivered them by hand. The practice
gained mass popularity when the “Penny
Post” was introduced in 1840 and the
famous Penny Black stamp went on sale to
the public.
