Wigston Paper is to be the sole UK stockist for the Gmund Colors System, produced by German papermakers Gmund Paper.

The paper portfolio comprises eight colour ranges and 48 individual colours, any of which can be combined “harmoniously” with any of the other 47. It is aimed at companies wishing to improve their visual communication, for example when creating corporate materials such as catalogues, annual reports and brochures, product packaging and hang tags, stationery and mailings.

Gmund papers are suitable for all common printing techniques, including offset, digital printing, letterpress, silkscreen, blind embossing, hot-foil embossing, paper etching and die-cutting. They are available in five different surfaces

Rob Walker, director at Wigston Paper, explained that the company was keen to take on the Gmund Colors System as its proven success in other countries such as Italy suggested that it had potential for the UK market.

‘As a premium paper system that’s already well known across the world, Gmund Colors is a great choice for design and print companies who want to compete in international markets as it offers both consistency and stand-out quality.’ Mr Walker commented.
