James Cropper has agreed a major new partnership deal that will see renowned global materials supplier Winter & Company become the exclusive partner of Coloursource paper.
The agreement is a significant moment for the paper industry, as it forms an exclusive partnership between two family-run businesses that brings the eagerly anticipated Coloursource brand to market. Coloursource is a range of 50 signature shades of paper material, available in three weights, that has been refined over half a century of proprietary fibre innovation and colour formulation, making it the premier choice for businesses looking to prioritise premium UK-made materials.
The new exclusive partnership further strengthens the long-standing relationship between James Cropper and Winter & Company. The two powerhouses of the materials industry share values and expertise, with both having a commitment to design excellence and complementary product portfolios. Winter & Company is known for its high-end cover materials and creative paper solutions, and Coloursource significantly expands its already impressive portfolio of materials for packaging, publishing, stationery, and branding.
Paul Barber, Managing Director at James Cropper was delighted to announce the deal, saying, “As a proud British business now entering our 180th year, it’s a privilege for us to unveil this major new supply agreement that brings Coloursource to the market. We know the launch of Coloursource spotlights British heritage and craftsmanship on the world stage, so it was important for us to bring it to market with a partner that aligns so closely with our company values.“Since we unveiled the Coloursource brand, we have experienced an unprecedented number of enquiries from businesses across the world – businesses that want to source their paper from the home of colour. New and prospective customers looking for Coloursource should contact Winter & Company today – or they can attend our booth at London Packaging Week to learn more.”
James Cropper will be attending London Packaging Week, where attendees can experience the full Coloursource range for themselves. The showcase comes hot on the heels of Coloursource’s debut at the glitzy Luxe Pack Monaco event, where the quality, durability, and vibrant hues of the new range stole the show.
Paul Davinson at Winter & Company also spoke about the new project, saying, “It is a privilege for us to strengthen our long-standing relationship with James Cropper. This partnership is the perfect fit for us – James Cropper’s craftsmanship, its proprietary colour formulations, and its in-house colour lab synergise nicely with our focus on service and quality.“I want to thank our partners at James Cropper for trusting us as the exclusive supplier of Coloursource. The future of colour is now.”
