James Cropper brings colour and creativity to packaging event

Range of different coloured papers

JAMES Cropper has vowed to ‘steal the show’ at London Packaging Week 2025.

The firm will be joined on stand for the first time by new partners Winter & Company. Coloursource, James Cropper’s flagship British-made coloured paper range, will be showcased, featuring 50 coloured papers developed over the past half-century.

James Cropper will also renew its partnership with paper artist Nathan Ward for a workshop titled Paper Possibilities: Redefining Luxury by Craft. The session, led by Ward and James Cropper’s marketing communications manager Jordan Scott, allows visitors to create their own luxury papercraft experience.

Jordan Scott said, “As a proud British company, we’ve always felt at home at London Packaging Week, but we’re committed to making this year’s show our biggest and best ever. We’re thrilled that Coloursource is making its long-awaited UK debut in the British design capital, and attendees to the show can be the first to get their hands on the range exclusively through our friends at Winter & Company.

“But we won’t just be telling attendees about the benefits of paper – we’ll be showing them in our interactive workshop. It’s a privilege for us to partner with Nathan once again for what is sure to be an unmissable workshop demonstrating the very best of British papercraft.”

The workshop takes place on 16 October, the second day of the London Packaging Week event.

“This is a real celebration of the best of British innovation,” Jordan added. “The only UK manufacturer of coloured paper is exhibiting a British-made product range in the design capital of the UK – and we’re partnering with a talented British artist to demonstrate just a few of the unlimited creative possibilities this offers to businesses.

“We’ve already experienced intense levels of interest from customers, as the release of Coloursource has become the paper industry’s hottest topic. We’re looking forward to delivering a memorable experience for those customers at London Packaging Week.”

London Packaging Week will be held at the Excel London centre on 15 and 16 October.
