The Story of Colorplan 

By 1972 the GF Smith Colorplan range was carefully, skilfully and methodically assembled. Never before had a paper range offered such a broad range of colours in the weights and finishes we offer.

Colorplan changed the landscape of printed communications. In the hands of a flourishing generation of graphic designers and forward thinking printers, the range formed the basis of design and advertising work of a style that had simply not been previously possibly.  Having established a new standard of colour sophistication and subtle texture, Colorplan has continued to evolve. Its range has never been as comprehensive  or more ideally suited to meet the demands of the modern creative as it is today.

Born into a changing world, Colorplan remains an iconic and indispensable element of the designer’s craft. In 1972 the revolutionary Colorplan had no predecessor. Today, it remains without equal.
