How Are Your Wallpaper Borders UK Printed And Made?

Your wallpaper borders are printed, cut and finished by hand by our team of skilled technicians. Extreme care and attention to detail is given to every order, to ensure an immaculate finish. When it comes to making borders for your walls, there are 2 options to choose from. The classic standard and our luxurious premium. Both papers look and feel beautiful, with matte finishes and lightly textured faces. The strength and durability is the same in both options, and they hold up brilliantly to scratches, abrasions and scuffs. Being environmentally friendly is a key mission of ours. As such, both papers are eco-friendly with no solvents or odours. We only use water-based inks and the premium option has a certified ECO-print. 

There are a few subtle differences in the borders for wallpaper:

Standard: With a stunning matte finish, your artwork is printed onto the chic, thick paper, which offers a permanent print and very good print quality. Your paper comes with a 2 year guarantee for colour fastness when hung in an optimal area (out of direct sunlight). If you are planning on hanging your borders on dark walls, we suggest using a lining paper first or a coat of white paint. 

Premium: This water activated paper requires no paste for application. Simply spray the wall and apply the borders where you wish. This stunning paper offers a permanent no-fade print, with super sharp print quality on a 100% opaque finish. Details and fine lines have incredible reproduction, while colours are crisp and vibrant. 



Care Instructions

If you need to clean your wallpaper borders UK produced then we recommend using a mild, soapy solution and a damp sponge. Use as little moisture as possible, and do not scrub at the dirt. Gently wipe instead. Although the colours will not run, if you scrub too hard, a natural nap in the paper might become visible.

  • Wipe Down
  • No Soak

Design Tips

It is important to consider the dimensions of the borders. Each strip measures 147 x 22cm, so it is vital to measure the total length and width of space that you are looking to cover. Use a tape measure so you ensure you order the right amount of paper. The quality of your artwork also plays an important factor. Once you upload your design, if you see a "low quality" warning, it is because your image is too small and it won't look its best when printed. If this is the case, try scaling your image down, or applying the tile effect. There are so many amazing design options for uploading onto your borders. Repeat patterns look striking, as do creative collages and typography. Have fun creating the perfect design for your project. When it comes to hanging your borders, they are not limited to just walls. If you have stair risers, then why not jazz them up a bit and put some spring in your step by creating borders for your stairs? See our images for design inspiration!

Frequently asked questions:

Are the wallpaper borders easy to apply?

Very easy. You will receive hanging instructions with your order. The standard paper requires basic wallpaper paste for application, but the premium is water activated and pre-coated with adhesive, so you simply need to spray the wall and apply.

How many different options of paper are there?

There are 2 different paper options for your wallpaper borders. Standard and premium. Both have the same matte finish with a textured face, but the premium offers a slightly higher quality print detail and an opaque finish.

Do I need to use lining paper?

You only need to use lining paper if you opt for the standard option. If you don't have lining paper, you could always apply white paint before the borders. The premium option is 100% opaque.

Print Guideline

  • DPI-Print Guideline Icon

    What's the best resolution to print in?

    We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi, this means that no resizing of your file occurs stopping any interpolation.

  • Jpeg-Tiff Print Guideline Icon

    Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?

    For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.

  • RGB-CMYK Print Guideline Icon

    Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?

    If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important choose RGB, this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.

  • GSM ICON

    What does GSM mean?

    Grams per Square Meter (GSM) is an international standard for measuring the weight of paper or fabric. GSM uses the weight of a square meter (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a given fabric. We class 20-100gsm as light (summer fabrics, gauzes and fine silks), 101-249 gsm as medium (most clothing fabrics) and 250+ gsm as heavy (upholstery fabrics, and other specialist fabrics).

  • Fill Bleed Areas ICON

    What are bleed areas?

    When designing your product, it’s best to make sure that your image is slightly larger than needed. In printing, the extra printed image is referred to as a “Bleed Area” or margin, and it is removed from the finished piece. A bleed area acts as a buffer for slight inconsistencies in the manufacturing process. however, it’s important to fill your bleed areas completely, or you may end up with white, unprinted strips along the edge of your finished product.

  • Transfer-Print Guideline Icon

    Do you print on garments a customer supplies?

    Unfortunately not. All our garments are printed on flat fabric, and sewn into finished products, which gives a better finished result and all-over print. We test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them. We do however print sublimation paper to order, so if you have access to a heat press you can press your fabrics or flat garments easily.

  • Pattern Alignment Across Seams ICON

    Can you Align a Pattern or design across panels of a garment?

    We always strive for the greatest accuracy when printing and constructing your garments. However, due to unavoidable stretch or movement of the fabric during the stitching process, we cannot guarantee perfect pattern registration across garment seams. We are generally accurate within 2-3mm, which Is close enough for most patterns, but may show slight issues with detailed geometric patterns.

  • print label option icon

    Can I print my own Labels?

    Most of our garments now come with printable label space for you to add your own company information and branding! If you would like to sew in your own labels, we also offer Printed Fabric Labels here.

  • Eco friendly Printing

    How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?

    With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
