Burneside-based James Cropper Paper and Packaging has agreed a major new partnership deal that will see renowned global materials supplier Winter & Company become the exclusive partner of the company’s Coloursource paper.
Coloursource is a range of 50 signature shades of paper material, available in three weights, that has been refined over 50 years of innovation and colour formulation. Croppers say they hope the range will become the premier choice for businesses looking to prioritise premium UK-made materials.
The new exclusive partnership strengthens a long-standing relationship between James Cropper and Winter & Company.
The two family-run businesses share values and expertise. Winter & Company is known for its high-end cover materials and creative paper solutions, and Coloursource significantly expands its already impressive portfolio of materials for packaging, publishing, stationery, and branding.
Paul Barber, managing director of James Cropper Paper and Packaging, said: “As a proud British business now entering our 180th year, it’s a privilege for us to unveil this major new supply agreement that brings Coloursource to the market.
“We know the launch of Coloursource spotlights British heritage and craftsmanship on the world stage, so it was important for us to bring it to market with a partner that aligns so closely with our company values.
“Since we unveiled the Coloursource brand, we have experienced an unprecedented number of enquiries from businesses across the world businesses that want to source their paper from the home of colour.”
The tie-up was announced at the Luxe Pack trade show underway this week in Monaco.
