Tairei
Tairei is a decorative paper made with designers in mind. Its top surface is fused with light-coloured decorative fibres of kozo or rayon. It is used for invitation cards and inserts, food and beverage menus, catalogues, book end-papers or jackets, and other communication materials.
Each of the 3 shades has one weight: Echizen is 90gsm, Obanai is 140gsm and Tsubaki is 188gsm. Picking the shade also picks the weight, so check that the weight suits the piece before you settle on a colour. Quotes are based on size, quantity and finishing.
