Takeo
There are papers that are not just a medium for graphics, but carry meaning in themselves. Japanese Takeo papers belong precisely to this category. They are created in an environment where respect for materials, detail, and craftsmanship has been cultivated for generations—and this is evident with 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 specialties that have one thing in common: exceptional quality, refined colors, and a feel that European papers often cannot imitate.
These papers stand out for their fine, natural texture, smooth surface, and perfect balance between character and functionality. They work perfectly as cover materials, in luxury packaging, books, tubes, and special printed materials. They respond sensitively to blind embossing, foil stamping, and precision printing—but always remain discreet. They never scream. They just quietly persuade.
For us, Takeo is neither a trend nor something exotic. It is a conscious choice. A choice of material that honors 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 papers are often the right answer.
