James Cropper’s long awaited Coloursource brand of premium coloured papers has launched worldwide in an exclusive partnership with renowned cover material supplier Winter & Company.



 As its heritage mill is the only one left in the UK producing British made coloured paper, James Cropper’s launch of Coloursource marks a significant moment for British industry and the global paper sector. The range, which has been refined over half a century of fibre material innovation and colour mastery, is now available in 50 vibrant shades and three weights from Winter & Company.



15 core colours are available consisting of sought after shades mid green, forest, fondant pure frost, bright red, and imperial blue, alongside another 35 vivid shades. All colours are available in 135gsm, 270gsm, and 350gsm in 640 x 970mm sheets.
Paul Barber, Managing Director at James Cropper, was delighted that the eagerly anticipated launch was now live, saying, “This is a bold new era of British made colour – one that’s more than 170 years in the making. Ever since we first unveiled the Coloursource brand earlier this year, we’ve seen incredible interest in the launch from around the world. As the first company in the world to produce coloured paper, it’s heartening to see there is still so much appetite for genuine British innovation over a century and a half later.



“It’s a pleasure to strengthen our long standing partnership with Winter & Company, another family run company that shares so many of the values that we hold dear. They are the perfect partners to support us in bringing Coloursource to the market.”


Paul Davinson, Managing Director at Winter & Company UK Ltd, also spoke about the new project, saying, “We are very excited about the Coloursource launch as it will allow us to further strengthen our brand portfolio and serve our customers even better. I want to thank our partners at James Cropper for trusting us as the exclusive supplier of Coloursource. Our relationship with James Cropper is the perfect fit for us, and has never been stronger. Combined with our focus on innovation, quality and service, the future of colour starts to look very bright.”
