Collection: Art & Craft Paper

The paper is part of the artwork, not only the place it starts. Art & Craft Paper at Office Goods Australia offers card stock, coloured sheets, watercolour surfaces and tracing paper for different ways to make and show an idea. A firmer card can hold a handmade shape, a painted page can carry layered colour, and a translucent sheet can help an outline move from sketch to finished design. The choice of surface helps set the mood of the work before the first cut or brushstroke.

Card and board for shapes that hold

White, black and coloured card stock brings weight to invitations, signs, school displays and paper models. A6 sheets suit smaller handmade pieces, while A3 formats make room for larger lettering or a wider composition. Extra-thick greyboard gives mounting and model-making a firmer backing. When a piece needs to stand, fold or be handled, the substance of the paper matters as much as its colour.

Paper that welcomes paint and drawing

Watercolour sheets and pads offer a purpose-made surface for washes of colour, while translucent tracing paper helps follow, refine or transfer a line. Handmade mulberry paper brings a distinct texture to calligraphy and decorative work. A scratch-art set invites marks in another direction, revealing colour as the surface is worked. These formats encourage different gestures from a brush, pencil or tool.

Colour ready for cards and classroom work

Coloured A4 sheets and pastel-toned card make it easy to build a palette across cut shapes, notices or student projects. Bright white card gives printed text and illustration a clean base, while black stock can make lighter layers stand out. The range lets the paper supply some of the finished colour, so the design can begin before anything is added on top.
