Wigston Paper has become the sole UK stockist for German company Gmund’s Colors System.

Rob Walker, director at Wigston, explained that his company was keen to take on the system as its proven success in other countries, including Italy, showed that it had great potential for the UK market.

He said, ‘As a premium paper system that’s already well known across the world, this 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.’ 

Papers from the system are suitable for all common printing techniques, including offset, digital printing, letterpress, silkscreen, blind embossing, hot-foil embossing, paper etching and die cutting.

There are 48 colours, each available in several different surfaces including matt, felt, metallic and transparent. All 48 have been been designed and produced so they can harmoniously combine with any of the other 47.
