Materials

All materials used at Sarah & Maude are carefully chosen to give the highest quality results whilst remaining friendly to the environment.

Paper

Gmund Cotton is a luxurious white uncoated 100% cotton paper, and produces stunning letterpress results.

Colorplan is a beautiful uncoated FSC-certified paper, produced in the UK, and a great choice for letterpress printing. Available in a broad range of colours and weights, matching envelopes are also available to complement your project.

Other options are available and if you have a preferred stock, I can consider that too.

Paper samples are available on request.

Envelopes

There are a wide range of sizes and colours of envelopes available, and they can be a great way to incorporate your colour palette into your project. Options include FSC-certified or 100% recycled envelopes.

Envelope samples are available on request.

Inks

All inks are hand-mixed in the studio using the Pantone Uncoated system, which allows for accurate colour matching. If you have a specific colour in mind please send a swatch or sample and I will match it as closely as possible, or if you have a Pantone reference, even better!

The environment

I am committed to running an environmentally conscious studio. I make sure my paper choices are as eco-friendly as possible – only printing on FSC-certified, 100% cotton, or 100% recycled papers. Envelopes are FSC-certified or 100% recycled and in my retail collection all packaging sleeves are biodegradable and compostable. All studio and shipping supplies are either re-used or recycled.
