Christmas, as well as Christmas paper, should be complemented with a wild or a natural element, be it spruce branches, jute twine or kraft paper. However, bright, colours, light, glitter, festivity and grandeur are just as important for creating Christmas atmosphere. In this article we will check out some of the most Christmassy paper options and combine them with exciting printing effects!
kraft paper and tones
Kraft paper comes in a surprisingly wide selection of options with varying levels of brightness, diverse colours, patterns, levels of smoothness, thicknesses… We would like to highlight at least two: interesting flecked kraft paper and gold natural carton kraft.
flecked, kraft 
gold, natural
Kraft paper is popular for two main reasons! First, the light background goes well with Christmas colours like red, plum purple, dark green etc. Secondly, kraft paper has enough character to be combined with a monochrome print, for example black or white. White ink print on UV or silk-screen printed kraft paper, as seen on the sample image, gives really beautiful results!

eco-friendly gifts
Kraft paper is traditionally used for creating wrapping paper, gift packages, envelopes, tags, Christmas cards, Christmas menus and calendars. Moreover, the ingredients of kraft paper are almost completely reusable and the paper is very durable.
colourful designer paper
Keywords for colour trends of 2021s: light, warm, lively, natural and unique. Gorgeous tones are the main reason why colourful designer paper catches our eye!

Colourful designer paper goes well with minimalistic designs, because the paper acts as the main visual component. You can also add an effect to the printed products by stamping (special shape, objects with special shapes, cut-outs, grooves) or by special print: metallic and pantone colours, 3D varnish or white ink.

Designer paper is also used for making envelopes for Christmas cards; you can print on these envelopes or add an additional paper strap.
christmassy white paper
The most Christmassy paper may be one with a texture or pattern that reminds us of snow: glittering snow, wild snow, slushy snow or powdery snow. At Studio Kind, we are able to print on really interesting paper: textured paper, thick cartons, thin silk paper, flecked paper or paper with uneven surfaces and edges. The different tones of white paper (light grey, delicate yellow, warm white, clear white, etc.) also help to create a unique background for the prints.
White paper matches best with colour print – in CMYK, pantone colours, gold or metallic tones (pink, dark blue, etc.). Christmas reminds us of beautiful vintage postcards that feature idyllic Christmas graphics are on thick cardboard or carton. You can find traditional vintage cards like that from Café Supelsaksad.
Christmas publications are a great way to share gratitude, best wishes, show that you care or create a festive atmosphere. Send us your Christmas wishes!
