Cambridge Imprint is a small paper-making business in Cambridge, England, designing and printing patterned paper. We are known for our beautiful colours, joyful illustration and typography, a lively, hand-drawn aesthetic, and meticulous attention to detail. We use simple hand-stencilled screen-printing to create our original designs, and spot- colour lithography to replicate the studio process in manufacturing the final paper product.
Virtually all our products are manufactured by small English businesses with high levels of expertise and craftmanship to make our patterns and papers into enduring, resilient, beautiful, useful things.
We are committed to our environmental and ethical process. The matte ivory paper and card stock that we print on is milled in Scotland and is produced from sustainable sources. The patterns are printed in Bethnal Green in London. Because our paper is uncoated and printed with vegetable oil-based inks, it is both completely recyclable and biodegradable. Our printer is a workers’ cooperative with a long-established track-record in minimising environmental impact. Our packaging is free of plastic and is as minimal as possible to protect our products from damage in transit, for ex the bags we use to cover our greeting cards are all biodegradable and are made from annually renewable corn and other sugar starches.
