Graining is a process that is used to apply a texture across a sheet, turning flat paper into a material with a decorative texture.

The texture can be applied to a sheet size up to B1. Patterns available include snakeskin, linen, leather effect, microdots and a symmetrical lined pattern. Other patterns are available on request and it is possible to create a bespoke pattern on any substrate as long as it is suitable for the graining process. Graining can be applied overall or selectively, depending on requirements. This process is often used to create decorative packaging materials or to add an extra dimension to a magazine or brochure cover.
