When it comes to wedding invitations, the paper you choose is just as important as the design itself. Paper sets the tone from the very first touch, leaving your guests with a lasting impression of your celebration. At Azure Paper, we only work with premium, eco-friendly stocks, ensuring that every suite not only looks beautiful but also feels luxurious in hand.

Paper Textures

Matte Paper – Smooth and modern, perfect for clean designs and vibrant colours.
Textured Paper – subtle grain finishes for a refined, tactile feel.

Each thickness works differently with specific printing methods:

540gsm – Best for letterpress, Foil stamping, blind-press and specialty finishes that require depth.
