London Packaging Week 2026 - don't miss us!

Over ten years ago, Easyfairs launched Packaging Innovations London and Luxury Packaging London, creating a meeting place for packaging designers, technologists and suppliers in the capital. Changed in 2022 to London Packaging Week – This year it is being held at Excel in London and is in a couple of weeks time on 15th and 16th October. It's a great show which brings a sharp focus on packaging development for the capital’s key luxury and FMCG markets.
Although we don't have a stand this year, we will be there together with our suppliers including FAVINI and also Kapag & Oppboga who make the amazing FibreForm® paperboard which we launched in the UK last year:
...as you can see, it can be embossed or debossed to three times it's own thickness without breaking!
Please visit the Favini stand and also the Kapag|Oppboga stand, we hope to see you there!

Colorset has 49 shades

For those of you not familiar with Colorset, it is our range of coloured text and cover papers which is 100% recycled and more competitively priced than some other well known brands of coloured paper!

A few years ago we launched 350gsm, so we now have ALL Colorset shades in 120gsm, 270gsm and 350gsm - all in B1 size (700x1000mm). 
A few years ago we further developed the range with 9 new colours...
...and more recently we added another dozen shades to make 49 shades in total plus white (so it's 50 really!)
The new shades include 7 shades made using Virgin fibre (due to the dye take up) and these are Blush, Warm White, Glacier, Hopsack, Charcoal, Spearmint and Aubergine, all marked with an asterisk in the swatch
...so there you have it, a range with 49 colours including TEN greys!

If you would like the updated swatch, please drop me an email and I'll pop one in the post justin@fennerpaper.co.uk
