Takeo
There are papers that are not just a medium for graphics, but which carry meaning in themselves. Japanese Takeo paper belongs to this category. It is created in an environment where respect for materials, details and craftsmanship has been cultivated for generations – and this is evident in every touch.
At Hässlers, we have been working with them for a long time. We use well-known series such as Satogami, Awagami, Shin Danshi, but also a number of other specialities that have one thing in common: exceptional quality, refined colours and a feel that European papers often cannot imitate.
These papers are distinguished by their fine, natural texture, smooth surface and perfect balance between character and functionality. They work perfectly as cover material, in luxury packaging, books, tubes and specially printed materials. They respond sensitively to blind embossing, foil embossing and precision printing – but always remain discreet. They never scream. They just quietly convince.
For us, Takeo is neither a trend nor something exotic. It is a conscious choice. A choice of material that celebrates slowness, precision and a deep understanding of paper as a medium. If you are looking for a surface that appears calm, timeless and authentic, Japanese paper is often the right answer.
