General

Coloured envelopes, card & paper by their nature have a tendency to fade, some colours more than others and in particular recycled papers. It is important when storing or displaying envelopes, card & paper to avoid direct exposure to sun light or bright lighting systems. Colours may be subject to change.
Pearlescent papers, card and envelopes do have a tendency to vary from batch to batch. We have no control over this manufacturing process.
