What are the environmental benefits of Bamboo?
Bamboo is well known as a highly sustainable resource - this means the plant grows back quickly and replenishes itself after it is harvested. A tree used for paper will take decades to replace with a new plant, and can have a large impact on natural habitat. Bamboo can re-grow from the same plant after it has been harvested, and is the fastest growing plant on the planet (over a meter of growth in one day is a typical result).
This is a great choice for paper, as it can be recycled just like the paper made from trees.
Ultra thick Bamboo with letterpress
We have an ultra thick 36pt Bamboo stock option available to order on our Letterpress Product page, or with custom options through a Print Quote request. This is a premium paper option too thick to be used with regular ink printing. We recommend a letterpress design, as the stock is perfectly suited to this output and provides crisp impressions. You can also produce a design on this paper with embossing, debossing or foiling.

- Bleed Area
- Trim Area
- Safe Area
Bleed Area refers to images that extend to the very edges of a design. To prevent an unwanted white border from showing at the edge of your design, or for the design to appear slightly off-center, be sure to extend any background colors or design elements all the way to the edge of bleed (.125” past the trim on all four sides).
Trim Area refers to the amount of the image that will appear on your finished product. These areas will also be marked with ‘cut lines’ on your proof and are where we aim to cut your card.
Safety Area in most cases refers to 1/8 of an inch inside of the Trim Area. For thicker papers 20pt and up or wooden papers the Safety Area increases ¼ of an inch inside the Trim Area. we strongly recommend you keep important aspects of your design such as text and logos well inside of the Safety Area, otherwise, they may be cut off.
Design Considerations
Design Considerations for Bamboo
Since this stock is soft and uncoated, some of the printed ink will be absorbed by the paper. Full solid ink coverage (such as a background) especially in darker colours is not recommended.
One side of the Bamboo stock is slightly rougher / more textured than the other, meaning designs and colours may appear slightly different from back to front.
We recommend to leave negative space in your design to let the beautiful textured paper itself show through.
Please note that fine detail should be kept to a minimum 1pt line weight on this stock. Colours may also appear a bit differently when printed due to the slightly warm tone of the paper.
