Paper types

It’s safe to say we’re pretty proud of our paper. We work with leading suppliers to find the most innovative, high quality and planet-friendly paper types available. Each type is rigorously tested to ensure it meets our quality, safety, and sustainability criteria.

Let’s discover what each paper type can bring to your design vision.

Standard

Our Standard paper is what paper should feel like. Boasting a smooth texture, non-reflective matte finish, and sharp print definition, it’s our best-seller for a reason.

Why choose Standard?

  • It’s an all-round high performer that’s easy to install, tear-resistant, light resistant and has a water based top coat for extra washable durability.

  • The premium finish is soft and extremely versatile, adding depth and richness to any of our wall mural or wallpaper designs.

  • It features a special coating so that when the day comes (sob!), it’s easy to remove in one piece.

  • You’re interested in a repeat pattern wallpaper for your design project.

  • Breathable material, helps prevent moisture locking and the build up of damp in high humidity areas.

Works well for:

  • Creating wow-factor spaces throughout the home without costing the Earth. A harmony of durability and sustainability with FSC Certified paper and non-toxic toner.

  • Show-stopping low-traffic commercial spaces, owing to its high safety and fire ratings, water resistance and excellent colour vibrancy.

  • It’s an all-round high performer that’s easy to install, tear-resistant, light resistant and has a water based top coat for extra washable durability.
