Metapaper Blog

2024 is the year of change and new beginnings at Metapaper: We are delighted to introduce Lessebo from Sweden as our factory partner for the new Metapaper COLORS. From now on we will be offering you 21 COLORS from Lessebo in 120 gsm, 160 gsm, 225 gsm and 300 gsm in the store. We will also be offering envelopes for all 21 COLORS together with BLACK in the formats C6, DL plus, C5 and 17.5x17.5.

We now have the official successor EXTRAROUGH 2.0 in stock, with a number of positive side effects. Most importantly, EXTRAROUGH 2.0 will be made in Europe in the future, making it much more sustainable.

Our UPCYCLING-Range is growing and thriving. After our BAGASSE, we are pleased to announce two new additions: Metapaper JEANS and Metapaper T-SHIRT White.

High volume, excellent opacity, good value for money and much more: our latest product development ROUGH AIR has the potential to be an "all-rounder".

A world first, ROUGH DELUXE: the first rough uncoated paper for digital finishing.

"New" and in Stock: Metapaper NATURAL Warmwhite 330 gsm, Paper from the 1920s.

Our ecoFIBRES gets a new addition. Last week we added the new Metapaper HEMP Fibre White in 325 g/m2 to our stock. As always developed for the HP Indigo, excellent for letterpress, custom packaging and of course offset printing.

This year the good news just keeps coming. Once again we have something for lovers of thick cards and small print runs and for everyone who cares about sustainability: the Multiloft cover made from EXTRAROUGH RECYCLING White in 325 gsm.

Sustainability is without doubt the major topic of our time. But what is Metapaper's sustainability position? Our focus is very clear and simple - identifying two major input factors in paper production: fiber and energy.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" - changes do not always have to be brought about by great actions. Even small actions can make a big difference. You can also contribute to sustainability by integrating it into your passion - in this case handlettering. For example, through the choice of paper.

ecoFIBRES: sustainable papers produced from alternative fibres and suitable for all printing processes.

The NEWEST addition to our collection is now available. BLACK & WHITE 300 gsm.

Having explored alternative lettering techniques using smooth and rough Metapaper papers in two previous two blog posts, Jennifer (styleslettering.de) examines the topic of watercolour in this latest posting.

The second part and continuation of our hand lettering blog series. This time testing the papers ROUGH, EXTRAROUGH and EXTRAMATT.

Hand Lettering has a rising popularity with fans of DIY as well brands. Where does Metapaper fit in with all that? Exactly, the paper.

Metapaper launches EXTRAMATT Coldwhite the world's whitest coated paper; with a super matt, natural finish and an unrivaled 160 CIE whiteness.
