We have invested in our own Melamine press to give us the freedom to source colours best suited to the trends and needs of offices. Such as:

Grains that aren’t too planked or have a high colour contrast, but rather easy on the eye with an even colour gradient.
Colour grains that have a natural appearance, avoiding garish tints and hues that dates quickly.
We also looked for colours that can easily be paired with popular solid Melamine colours.
