Canalpath Creative - Cards

Canalpath are a creative agency based in Edinburgh who have recently created their new business cards. The cards are the standard UK business card size of 55x85mm in a landscape format and are produced on our range called Remake.

The cards are simply (but beautifully) printed in one colour and debossed on the face on Remake Sky 380gsm which is duplexed to Remake midnight 380gsm to make a 760gsm, 1mm thick card. The reverse side on the black (midnight) is clear gloss UV varnished.

Remake is the range produced by Favini and Remake is leather ‘upcycling’ on an industrial scale and represents the latest frontier in upcycling in the paper sector. This unique and innovative paper replaces 25% of wood tree pulp with leather residues. You can read more about Remake here.

Below you can see the duplexed cards.

The below image shows detail of the debossing...

Production of the cards is by Steve Thorburn at Base Print Solutions and they have made an exceptional job of the production.

Thick cards for a bright printer!

Opal Print have just produced their new business cards and chosen Colorset (over the more obvious competitor product!). The production included triplexing 3 lots of 270gsm Colorset Lime Green, Dark Grey and White, making 810gsm (plus glue!). The cards are printed two colour offset litho, and hot foiled on the reverse in a clear foil and a metallic silver. It's great to see a printer using methods at their disposal for their own uses and this is certainly a business card which is a brilliant first impression.

Chris Pollard has recently joined Bath based Opal Print and has started an excellent blog, have a look:

...and a little reminder that Colorset is made from 100% Recycled post industrial waste fibres.
