James Cropper’s a leader
in circular design
​
Made with 100% recycled fibre and dyed with natural ingredients, James Cropper launched Wainwright Colours from Nature with the shades, Limestone and Herdwick Brown, created from inedible rosemary extract, which was destined for waste. The range impresses with its bio-degradability capabilities, aesthetic qualities and the bleed free paper’s resistance to rubbing and light.
The concept of circular design is ever present in the consumer mindset; but being able to say that your product has been able to break the cycle for a number of waste streams and give them another useful life is a powerful story.
Engineered with a natural and tactile feel, Wainwright Colours from Nature is suitable for box covering, folding boxes and shopping bag applications and ensures outstanding print and converting performance. Currently available in large format sheets for sample dummies and print tests, the collection includes two shades derived from rosemary with plans to include more nature derived colours.
You can win: The winning books from the 2022 James Cropper
Wainwright Prize.
