Rives Paper – Luxury Card For Those Special Prints

 

In every endeavour, it’s crucial to tailor your approach to suit the specific requirements of the situation at hand. Choosing the perfect paper stock for your project may initially seem like a straightforward task. However, when you encounter terms like GSM, ink absorbency, and lamination, it can quickly become overwhelming. That’s where we come in to guide you in the right direction and simplify the decision-making process.

At Tradeprint, we take pride in delivering the best print quality across a wide range of price points. We understand that our customers have diverse needs and preferences, which is why we offer a variety of paper options to accommodate every unique use case.

Now, let’s set aside our standard paper stocks for a moment and delve into our collection of high-end luxury paper stocks for business cards. These premium options are specifically designed to elevate your next project and make a lasting impression.

Rives Dot 350gsm

Rives Dot is an exceptional paper stock that truly captures attention with its distinctive features. This unique paper is characterised by its substantial thickness and the presence of delicate, precisely spaced indented dots embedded within the raw material. The result is a paper that exudes precision and accuracy, making it an ideal choice for projects that demand a touch of sophistication and attention to detail. With Rives Dot, your printed materials will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on anyone who holds them.

 

Rives Shetland 250gsm

This paper is what I like to call, “Rustic Luxury”. Rives Shetland paper embodies a captivating blend of rustic charm and luxurious elegance. With its organic and natural touch, this paper boasts a light texture that evokes a homemade sensation, perfect for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It’s no wonder that wedding invitations and high-end direct mail materials frequently opt for this stock, as it effortlessly exudes a premium aesthetic that captivates the senses from the very first touch. The tactile nature of Rives Shetland paper begs to be felt, making it particularly well-suited for products that are handled regularly.

 

Rives Tweed 350gsm

This unique pattern effect provides a texture unlike any other, adding depth and character to your printed materials.

The tweed-inspired texture is created by incorporating vertical and horizontal lines, skilfully woven with the natural fibres within the paper pulp. The result is a subtle yet captivating texture that beckons to be explored by both the eyes and fingertips.

Best suited for bold and impactful designs, this paper stock thrives when paired with block elements that take full advantage of its distinctive rough surface. This tweed-textured paper stock adds a touch of rugged sophistication, infusing your designs with a tactile and visually engaging quality.

When it comes to our paper stocks, we prioritise preserving their natural essence, which is why each of them is uncoated. This means that when you hold these papers, you’ll immediately feel the raw, authentic texture of the natural fibres. This uncoated feature enhances their organic and tactile characteristics, setting them apart from other paper materials. By embracing the uncoated nature of these paper stocks, we celebrate the inherent beauty and versatility of the paper itself. The absence of a coating allows the true texture and colour of the paper to shine through, giving your designs a unique and authentic appeal.
