Colorplan paper is renowned for its exceptional quality, vibrant hues, and versatility, making it a top choice for designers and businesses alike.

Each shade is crafted to perfection, ensuring consistency and richness in every sheet.
We therefore use this paper in the creation of our triplex letterpress business cards. This technique involves the fusion of three layers of paper, resulting in a card that is not only visually striking but also incredibly sturdy and tactile.
The Triplex Process:
Choosing the Colors: The process begins with selecting three sheets of Colorplan paper. These can be the same colour for a monochromatic look or different hues for a more dynamic, layered or sandwich effect. The choice of colours can significantly impact the final design, allowing for subtle sophistication or bold contrasts.
Adhesion and Precision: The three sheets are meticulously glued together, ensuring perfect alignment. This step is crucial as it determines the overall thickness and durability of the business card. The adhesive used is of high quality to maintain the integrity of the card over time.
Letterpress Printing: Once the triplex base is ready, the card undergoes letterpress printing. This traditional technique involves pressing inked plates into the paper, creating a deep, tactile impression. The thick, layered nature of the triplex card enhances the letterpress effect, making the text and designs stand out vividly against the paper’s surface.
The Result:
The result is a business card that exudes elegance and quality. The triplex method adds substantial weight and a luxurious feel, leaving a lasting impression on recipients. The vibrant colours of Colorplan paper, combined with the tactile nature of letterpress, make these business cards a standout choice for professionals seeking to convey prestige and creativity.
