Antalis has partnered with Dynamic Print to showcase how ‘Hello’ cards come to life in a collaborative project combining print expertise and the power of creative paper. Together, they have produced and released a short film that captures the creative and technical process behind the ‘Hello’ cards, demonstrating how premium substrates and specialist finishing techniques work together to create standout printed communications.
Foiling, embossing and debossing are expertly applied across a selection of Antalis Creative Papers, including Curious Skin, Curious Matter, Curious Particles, Olin Colours and Olin Origins. Each paper was carefully chosen for its character, from soft touch tactility and raw, natural textures to subtle inclusions and refined colour palettes.
The film highlights how the right combination of paper and finishing can add depth, texture and impact to print, transforming a simple card into a multi-sensory brand experience.
The papers selected were all from Antalis’ Creative Papers Portfolio. Curious Skin offers a luxurious, velvety surface that enhances foil detailing and embossing. Curious Matter delivers an uncoated, raw aesthetic ideal for contemporary design. Curious Particles introduces subtle flecks and inclusions for added visual interest, while Olin Colours provides rich, solid shades for bold creative expression. Olin Origins brings an organic, responsibly sourced feel that aligns with modern sustainability expectations.
Importantly, all Creative Papers are carbon balanced as standard via World Land Trust.
Sarah Smith, managing director at Dynamic Print, commented: ‘This project was about showcasing what is possible when exceptional papers meet expert finishing. The range of textures and colours within the Antalis Creative Papers portfolio gave us the perfect foundation to demonstrate the power of our foiling, embossing and debossing in a tangible way.’
Tom King, digital business partner at Antalis, added: ‘Paper is not just a surface; it is an active design element. Through this collaboration, we wanted to show how selecting the right creative paper, combined with considered finishing, can dramatically elevate printed communications. The ‘Hello’ cards are a celebration of vintage craftsmanship and material choice.'
