Chalk Paper

What is tracing paper and why print on it?

Tracing paper is a semi-transparent paper that creates a unique interplay of light and shadow. It is thin but sturdy, with a characteristic slightly rough texture. Its transparency makes it ideal for designs that require layering or a subtle effect. Think of invitations with a surprise element, menus that cast a warm glow by candlelight, or place cards that drape elegantly over a glass or napkin. Architects and designers also love it for sketches, presentations, or mood boards.

Which materials and sizes can you choose?

You can choose between 150 gsm and 200 gsm tracing paper. The lighter paper is more transparent and flexible, while the heavier paper feels sturdier and creases less. Both variants are semi-transparent and suitable for HP Indigo digital printing, ensuring sharp and colorful results.

The size is fully customizable to your project. There are 38 standard sizes available, from A8 to A3, including landscape versions, long formats like A4 large (148 x 420 mm), and special card sizes like 85 x 55 mm for business cards. You can also specify a custom size, so you always have the right dimensions.

Printing and finishing: what's possible?

Standard printing is 4/0 full color, allowing you to print on both sides. For an extra effect, choose 5/0 full color with white ink. The white ink creates an opaque layer, ensuring your design remains clearly visible on transparent paper and giving it a matte, luxurious look.

For a special finish, various spot finishes are available: foil stamping in gold, silver, copper, rose gold, glitter, or rainbow, or a raised high-gloss UV varnish spot of 40 μm. These finishes add a tactile dimension to your design and make certain elements stand out.

Additional options: drill holes, rounded corners, and bundling

You can further personalize your tracing paper with additional options. Add a drill hole of 4 or 5 mm, for example to hang the paper or combine it with a ring binder. You can also round the corners with a radius of 3.5 or 7 mm, giving a soft, neat appearance.

For large quantities, you can use the bundling option. You can have your print product counted and bundled per 100, 250, or 500 pieces, so you can distribute or ship it directly.

How to order custom tracing paper?

The ordering process is simple. Choose the size, material (150 or 200 gsm), printing (4/0 or 5/0), and any finishing. You can also request a printed sample with voucher or watermark to experience the effect of the paper. Additionally, you can choose from different urgencies: standard, fast, or express. This way, you always have the production time that fits your schedule.
